Community Tasting Note

WindFlyer Likes this wine:

Tuesday, February 6, 2024 - dark ruby with garnet rim and medium body. some reductive funk (screwcap closure) blows away quickly to reveal a perfumed nose of red cherry and cranberry, with floral notes of lavender, herbal notes of tarragon, some smoky game whiffs and a bit of earthiness. fresh and juicy in the mouth, the dark cherry fruit is wrapped in bright, spicy acidity counterweighted by oolong-tea base notes. appreciable density mid-palate but only subtle earthy or tertiary accents. still firm but smooth tannins and good length.

did not get a good sense as to where this wine is… seems like there's still structure, acidity and fruit for it to develop and gain more depth, but the young age of the vines when the wine was made would cut against that.

14% AbV (somewhat apparent); blend of 50% Cornish Point, 35% Elms and 15% Calvert vineyards ranging in age from two to twelve years; eleven months in barrel.
