Community Tasting Note

Monday, October 8, 2018 - My first time with this particular vineyard, and it was an interesting experience. Given my lack of background with the characteristics of the site, I can't speak to any terroir influences, but Jamie's stem inclusion practices were certainly clear. There was a distinct floral note to the wine, as well as a fresh herbal tone supporting the cherry/strawberry fruit. One thing that did concern me was a bit of an acidic tingle (not CO2) on the finish of the wine. I have run into this once before, in Jamie's 2013 Sonoma Coast blend, and it eventually came to dominate the wine. I did not care for that effect at all (and now have half a dozen bottles of a wine I don't want to drink), and I hope it's not going to become a dominant feature of this wine, because I otherwise really like this cuvée.
