Community Tasting Note

kevinpatrick Likes this wine:

Sunday, July 3, 2022 - Sunday Drop-in at Cork Vault Charlotte (Guigal, Delas, Tablas Creek) (Charlotte, NC): Decanted 2 hours although we checked in from time-to-time.
Nose: concentrated aromas of dark fruits. A fun contrast to the Rhones.
Body: Full-bodied with balanced dark fruit notes -- Cherries against blackberries with red currants. More fruit and less earthy than a big Napa Cabernet Sauvignon which makes sense considering this was a "Right Bank" blend. Continued to soften with more air and was best at the 3 hour mark.
Finish: Medium length finish of red fruits. Youthful.
The actual blend was a bit of a debate as there is apparently confusion as to some of the source material. I think this was 55% Merlot, 25% Cab franc, 5-10% Cab Sauvignon, and then a blend of Viognier/Gewurztraminer (only because I was told these grapes were in there).
