Community Tasting Note

Monday, October 19, 2020 - Drink by date here on CT is 2021 and I want to say that appears to be somewhat accurate. I think that this wine will still have great notes through 2025, but I just don't see any need to keep this one past 2021 as I just don't see it appreciating with additional bottle age. Tonight, this was the perfect balance between youthful black fruit, licorice, and aged black fruit with a black tar, tobacco and fig note that kind of lingers a bit on the finish. The wine was very youthful on the front. But this did need probably a 30 minute decant as it had a slight green olive and herbaceous funk kind of thing at first. Settled down and showed its structure and balance for a wine that is crafted from awesome sites (Morisoli, Oakville Beckstoffer and Herb Lamb Vineyards. A really awesome price given that wines that source from these vineyards can cost 3x the price. This one is mature, ready to go, and showing welll.
