Community Tasting Note

Saturday, April 15, 2017 - I was worried when I saw the brownish tinge to the garnet color because the 2005 estate I had a couple years ago was overripe and so not good. But this is very nice and in a good place. Surprisingly firm with better than decent energy. Very savory flavor profile and a medium-plus driving finish. No heat despite the 14.5 abv on the label. Not too much in the way of bitter tannins that I get from AV Pinots that indulge in press wine to pump up the Spectator points and make them more showy upon release, but 10 years is enough to shed most of that. Wish I opened it for something better than Trader Joe's frozen pizza. Haha.
