Community Tasting Note

tak4 Likes this wine:

Sunday, July 29, 2018 - Decanted. Tasting note after about two hours in air (I'm learning).

Wine is crimson, touch of purple. Not totally clear.

Dust, cherries, forest floor, earth as top note on nose. Hint of clove, leather. Deeper notes reveal morello cherries, touch of flint.

Wine is sound. Medium acid, medium alcohol, medium body. Tannins are present but not front and center, and not astringent. Wine is dry. Consistent with nose plus that nice dustiness really comes out on the palate. Maybe a touch of anise? Superb balance.

Boy this is a nice wine. Great fruit flavor without bombardment. Not so concentrated (like certain California Pinots) that it gets tiresome. Beautiful expression of Pinot Noir. Can't wait to get my next case from these guys.
