Community Tasting Notes 4

    July 30, 2010 - Sweet strawberry and cherry candy notes introduce the aroma, with toasted marshmallow and a faint rose petal tone surrounding the core. A spin in the glass opens up some intense spice notes, tobacco, something almost like peppered salami, cigar, and herbal tones.

    The palate is smooth and soft with a gentle, dusty quality. The same strawberry and cherry notes from the aroma show through, with a touch of pipe tobacco and some fresh herbal tones. There is a certain touch of green running through this wine, almost like forest moss or freshly fallen leaves, but it comes through only very slightly in the background. Everything about this wine is incredibly subtle, and all of the flavors seem to show through a veil of silk. It’s incredibly soft, and delicate with a fresh, berry-like acidity around the edges, almost somewhat Pinot-like. This is a well done wine, and for the price, absolutely worth trying.

    February 28, 2010 - Although I'm partial to the very hearty reds, which this isn't, I nevertheless really liked this wine. It is gentle and smooth, from nose (cherries) to palate and finish. Went really well with baked brie!

    March 26, 2009 - Maybe it's me, but everything is tasting acidic this week. Nose is very faint. Flavors of candied cherries; quite tart on the finish, but again like a candy. Much improved after being open for over an hour.
