Friday, March 29, 2024 - The Future of Wine Seminar /w Jancis Robinson (Dogpatch, San Francisco): Nose: Cherries, cranberries, a bit of heat, dried clean oak, and light yet intense red floral notes. Kinda crazy, with time, any heat, oak notes and cranberry notes have completely blown off, leaving behind clean fresh cherries and very aromatic and intense red flowers.
Palate: A cross of black and red cherries with cranberries, wet earth and damp tree bark, and lightly spiced oak. I love the intensity and prickliness this gains with some air. Made from old vines ~90 years old. Amazingly approachable with some time and nice complexity too. Wine of the lineup for me.
I did my best to create the new wine page for the database as accurately as I can.
