Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 18, 2024 - This was consumed over the course of an afternoon/evening and was well enjoyed. Yes, there’s a good bit of reduction and no it never fully blows off. It’s flinty, aggressively acidic, a little grassy with a pithy finish, and quite saline. Refreshing in the way a good margarita can be but with none of the sweetness. This vineyard has tons of personality but I have to say I favored a 19 Sojeau chard tasted just a couple weeks prior for its balance. And I agree with Josh Abramson that it remains coiled, opening only slightly in the glass with time and air, and many years of development remain for this wine.
