Community Tasting Note

Thursday, August 6, 2020 - This dark and dense Cabernet is drinking impressively right now, with incredible fruit and an earthy undertone that suggests even better things are in the future. Dark red in color; full in body; nose of graphite, cocoa bean, boysenberry, and menthol. Flavors of blackberry, red plum (read: the energetic kind), cardamon, and gravel, with a sweet and layered finish that carries plenty of tannin. 14.7% alcohol.

This has a compelling amount of ripe and pure fruit (read: not a lot of woodsiness here), but it is the savory and spicy undertone that make the wine truly unique. It's kind of like a Dominus with more polish, but that same underlying class and restraint. 94-95 for now, with upside in 2022 or later.
