Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Sunday, December 18, 2011 - Porridge too hot; porridge too cold. This wine was trying to find something between Burgundy austere and California fruit overdose. It may have succeeded. It was almost rich in texture, nose and taste...but managed to restrain itself. Ripe strawberry and raspberry with a few shavings of oak bark. However I spent most of the time trying to figure out the logic and engineering around the closure -- a far too trendy plastic pop top that would not go back into the bottle firmly after first opening. A distraction. Like a beautiful woman wearing blingy hoop earrings.
