Community Tasting Note

Shay.Aldriedge Likes this wine:

Saturday, September 28, 2019 - Such a unique blend of 50/50 cab and petite sirah. I believe the cab fruit is from Beckstoffer Bourn vineyard. Inky purple in the glass! Followed over two days...both days had aromatics that just oozed juicy blueberries and blackberries accompanied by currant, and pepper crusted rhubarb. Lighter than expected on the palate (in a good way). Starts out like a cab with notes of baked mixed berry pie. Dark in profile. Petite Sirah comes through in the middle and finish showing scorched earth and charcoal with the fruit balancing it out. Dark fruit and black pepper core encapsulated by tart black cherries. For this being half petite sirah, I agree that it’s shockingly semi accessible at this stage. Kudos to Benoit.
