Community Tasting Note

junetoaugust Likes this wine:

Thursday, November 30, 2023 - Opened and poured a taster to find an absolute monster, immediately decanted and decided to come back in about an hour. Color in the decanter is still inky and deep with edges just starting to show some brownish age, but really defies it age it appears. Aromas filled the room with dark fruits, leather, spice, some mushroom earthiness. Flavors of dark fruit plum, blackberry, black pepper and sweet baking spice. Further spiced and cedar notes on the nose came through on later glasses. The dark fruits are mouth-coating with still bold tannins and good acidity. A monster at first that really became more elegant with a long rich finish is rich with touches of chocolate.

Decided to kick off holiday week with what must almost be the end the of my Delectus Petite Sirah. In recent times I have seen that the tasting room is no longer operating and many of the library wines have been offered. Purchased years ago, I assumed the transaction was specific focused on the centrally located tasting room as the estate vineyards in Knights Valley were not included (later sold to neighbor Peter Micheal). Interested to see what come of the property.
