Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 23, 2017 - PNV week, tasting at the Hourglass caves. Great to try the newly released Blueline Merlot. This is a wine when I have served to guests in the past they are always blown away that it is a) merlot, b) from California...still working off the Sideways preconceptions.

Really rich nose of red and blue fruits, plums, floral notes. Palate is rounded; red fruits, blueberry, raspberry compote, coffee, cloves/baking spice, vanilla. Tannins strong at this stage but wine is still accessible. As tannins resolve this will be great - give it 3-5 years - should drink for 15+ past that
