Community Tasting Notes 6

  July 14, 2019 - PNP. 60% Cabernet Sauvignon 40% Merlot. Medium ruby color with some brick around the edges. Aromas of blackberry, plum, forest floor, kettle corn and dried herbs. Medium body, with dark fruit on entry, savory in the mid palate and an earthy finish filled with tannins that are still quite firm. Not terribly complex, but still has room for evolution.

  May 18, 2014 - I really like the flavor and silky structure - there's blackberry and floral qualities. the palate is a little too hollow to be outstanding, still she is an enjoyable claret that has a fresh acidity. Wait at least a year. Drink 2015 - 2023.

  June 1, 2013 - Subtle aroma - mostly fruit without many sophisticated nuances. Smooth body with decent balance. Modest finish. More than acceptable for the price.
