Community Tasting Notes 10

  March 12, 2017 - Tasting at a LWS and meeting an old friend for the first time (WRW): I must admit to not really liking this in its youth, but it has come around nicely. The oak has integrated, there is fruit left and slight tannins. Also brought from my cellar to add to the tasting. Purple/ruby in color. The nose has cassis, slight earthiness, bit of spice. On the palate, this has cassis and layers of earth. Wispy tannins. Nice balance. Good finish. The power of cellaring well made wine.

  April 28, 2014 - Decanted several hour. Wine softened with time and was a very pleasant drinking Cab showing notes of black fruits. Nose was pleasant, not much more and maybe slight alcohol on nose. Enjoyable wine.

  May 16, 2013 - A bit tart and just can't seem to open up even a day later. Bright berries with a leather caramel finish. Just too hot.

  November 13, 2012 - Ordered at BLT Steakhouse in Washington DC. This was a solid bottle of Cabernet despite the big mark up ($90). Dark red fruit dominated the mid palate with pleasant tobacco notes on the finish. The frame was medium and the color was dark ruby red. This wine far outshined a couple bottles of Chester Kidder that kicked off the night.

  November 4, 2012 - Very smooth with dark blue fruits - the cobbler note below really describes it well.... you get a nice sense of sweet baked crust and a slight spice. Some linger green pepper on the backside and very pleasant acidity - it paired nicely with the roast we enjoyed this with. This is right in it's stride and makes me look forward to visiting Peter's epic tasting over the holiday weekend to see how the 09s and 10s are coming together.
