Community Tasting Note

Sunday, September 29, 2013 - The wine is a medium to deep ruby red color. The hypnotic nose has cherries, dried leafy herbs, fresh ground dark roast coffee, cedar, tobacco, cassis, dark bittersweet chocolate, baking spices and violets. This has medium body, moderate tannins and good acidity. On the palate there is a nice mix of the fruit and savory elements, with the fruit providing nice sweetness especially on the back end. The finish has very nice length but a touch of excess oak pokes through and leaves a slightly bitter closing note. Perhaps a bit more cellar time will help the remaining oak from the finish integrate. All in all, a very nice and enjoyable bottle of wine.
