Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, January 9, 2019 - Sangria colored with aromas of purple flowers, white pepper and sweet black fruits. After a couple hours of air, black cherry makes an appearance.

On pop and pour the structure was very evident -- plenty of drying tannin and acidity. After an hour in the decanter, the wine opened up considerably; loads of blackberries (but without the sweetness suggested by the nose), plum, white pepper, violet and the barest hint of graphite. The structure is still evident, but the tannins have softened markedly. Medium bodied, the finish is long and graceful. Not as open as the 2012 was at a similar stage in its evolution, this vintage is built to age. Better in 5 years and should easily last two decades from vintage. 91-93+.

54 cases made, 12.7% abv, made from organic grapes.
