Community Tasting Note

Thursday, May 6, 2021 - The first indoor gathering since Covid (Clarity - Vienna, Virginia): Explosive primary nose displaying blackberry liqueur, blueberry pie, creme de cassis, ink, dark caramel, lavender, baking spices, steel and crushed rock. Exceptional concentration, layers upon layers of unbelievably concentrated black and blue fruit, unctuous, rich, deeply toned and round, medium acidity, strong mineral and a long intense black fruit driven finish with liquid smoke, ink and lavender at the end. This is a big scale wine. Although there is a lot going on, it is a bit overwhelming. It is like drinking port, i.e. I can only have a small glass. If you are a big California syrah lover, add a few points to my rating.
