Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 12, 2021 - With dinner at FIG in Charleston -- somm said the cork slipped right into the bottle with the ah-so, but we were planning to decant anyway.

The wine returned to the table with a wonderfully garrigue-ous bouquet, smoky and herbaceous tending toward greener notes like roasted asparagus and bell pepper, with just a touch of horse barn funk. Flavors of fresh raspberry and plum combined with miso/soy and loamy earth, backed by black pepper and anise spice. This was a bottle I was a bit suspicious about, but it turned out to be a great pairing with chicken liver pate, ricotta gnocchi in ragu, and most surprisingly, miso-marinated swordfish.
