Community Tasting Notes 8

  March 10, 2013 - I wasn't expecting this one to be getting better but it Has. This is not your typical Napa cab of recent vintages but sort of a throwback. The wine is still in perfect balance with notes of coffee bean and tarty dark red fruits on the nose. The ample acidity level made this wine impress even more with food. All of this wrapped up with a medium long finish. This has been drinking well since purchase so it was hard to hold on to any of these $15 bottles but it has been worth it.

  November 23, 2011 - This is developing nicely. Good balance of oak, tannins and acidity. Good fruit on the nose and a long finish. EDIT- after 3 days this was still showing very well so it still has a long way to go before it peaks. Pretty incredible!

  March 11, 2011 - I'm really enjoying this wine. Decanted for 1.5 hours and it open up with fruity dark aromas with coffee notes, which carries over on the tongue. Slightly herbal, too. And the oak, tannins and acid combine to give the impression of appealing charcoal. Got even better with another hour of decanting.
