Community Tasting Note

srh Likes this wine:

Saturday, January 25, 2020 - Winebar [1 Rosé, 3 Whites, 8 Reds, & 7 *shared* bottles] from 01/24/20 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): “A blend of vyds located in Coombsville, grapes harvested 9/6–10/24/18; 85% barrel fermented, 15% tank; No ML; Aged 10 mos sur lie in FR oak (50% new, 50% once-used); Released October 2019;”

N: An attractive melding of pineapple & toast (which strikes me as almost butterish)

P: MF body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish oak & frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) counterbalanced by an acidity which leads into a LONG, BALANCED finish with an elegant TANGY/swtness (60:40) & OCCASIONAL *hints* of a very, VERY slight bitterness that would DEFINITELY not be a problem now with food. LOTS of class, is likely still improving, & should be good to go through '22, poss longer. My EXC; Silver from ’20 Rodeo Uncorked! Int’l @ $55. [Check with this vendor if interested in their competitive pricing.]
