Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 11, 2019 - Dark ruby fruit - blackberry, currants, dark cherry, and dark raspberry. Really smooth mid-palate coupled with solid depth/concentration and a nice purity - medium plus body. Rich/vibrant flavors of dark berries, some spice, and a mineral/graphite component. Fairly long finish. Decanted for two hours and drank over a couple more. Improved a little with time but drinking well after the decant. Drank next to a 2014 Outpost True Vineyard cab and I would give a slight edge to the Outpost - similar quality of fruit but not as as rich/sweet as I tend to prefer. Enjoyable and approachable at this stage with a decent decant, however, I hope the fruit fills-out/adds some more weight with a little more time to get to that 98 rating from Parker. WA anticipated maturity 2016 to 2036. 100% cab.
