Community Tasting Note

Friday, June 7, 2013 - Decanted for 30 minutes before service. In the glass, clear, rich, ruby red. On the nose, nutmeg and crushed cherries, and perhaps a hint of flowers. On the palate, a lush, silky texture coupled with dark cherries, pinot spice, minerality, and just enough tannins to give the wine some backbone. I love wines that show off their richness yet keep everything in balance. Just when the fruit is about to hit fruit bomb proportions, there's the spice. Just when the spice is starting to overwhelm, there are the tannins to cut through. Just when the tannins are starting to dominate the palate, there's that silky texture. Beguiling yet always inviting. A beauty of a wine.
