Community Tasting Notes 6

  January 26, 2012 - nose - deep berry nose
  mouth - big fruit forward pinot - sweet blackberry & blueberry, with considerable dribble from the attack to the midpalate, and then a nice burst of acidity yields to a surpisingly tannic finish. All in all comes across as a fruit bomb while still maintaining a certain sort of pinot nimbleness. I think this is a yummy stand alone wine, and that many would adore it. Possibly a touch overextracted for my style. Is this crushpad group defunct?

  September 8, 2011 - This wine was amazing after 24hr vacuvinned. I think it could easily be held another year or two if you want it to be a "pop and pour" wine. Too bad this was my last bottle. :-(

  September 3, 2011 - Awesome bottle, lots of aroma on the nose (I am terrible at descriptors but it was really interesting). Big mouth of juicy red fruits, grapefruit. nice bottle! Note: this held up really nicely vacuvinned for a day also. Maybe an indicator of needing some more cellar time.

  February 5, 2011 - Delicious bottle, great balance between fruit and structure. Slight on the" new world" side, but still good backbone with tasty red berries, which is what I like. Held it's own against green Thai curry, and was great in it's own afterwards.

  September 20, 2009 - Stunning bottle, with amazingly floral and spicy aromas and flavors. Cinnamon, spice, clove, cherry. It's all there. Impressive.
