Community Tasting Note

Friday, August 1, 2014 - A bit closed on the nose, but picking up some cherry and rose petal notes. Medium body but seems more viscous in the glass. Tart cranberry and cherry on the palette with some cola undertones....walks right up to the edge of being candied but toes the line. Smooth finish with red fruit lingering on the palette. Enjoyable but I personally would like more earthiness and minerality. Guess I'll just have to keep tasting through my WS stash until I find one :)

In my experience, the Allen and Estate bottlings, more so than other single vineyard designates, offer the earthiness and minerality you like, but they need a bit of age to reach full potential. Bucher used to offer this also, but not in recent vintages.
