Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 26, 2009 - With its nose of black cherry, smoke, roasted barley, black olive, and worcestershire sauce, this is very much a Loire gamay, not to be confused with any Beaujolais. This is fairly concentrated and the texture is more rustic than refined, and driven by robust cherry-tart acidity, but I dig all that. There's plenty of primary, non-sweet fruit on the palate — tangy plum, mostly, with a hint of olive — yet it's just starting to turn autumnal, with aspects of dried leaves and brown earth minerality. I suspect the acidity will seem harsh after the fruit fades but this should still drink very nicely over the next 6-12 months.
