Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 30, 2019 - It pours a deep garnet with burnished edges. In contrast to last year's River Road Ranch offering, I find the nose on this wine more enjoyable early on than after time in the decanter. Petrol and thiolone are more evident than smoke as they wrap around a tight cache of red fruits -- plum, cherry, unripe strawberry, and a touch of pomegranate. There's room for allspice and some baking botanicals in the bite of cherry pie that dominates in the mouth. There's smooth, chalky earth in its lighter-bodied core and, similar another DRG, a bright acidic lift that pulls the drinker along -- in this one, I experience green grape and a bronzy perfume. Dark berries come late with pepper in the tapering finish. The work that goes into this wine is on clear display.
