Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Sunday, January 14, 2024 - Not sure if it's the specific glass or a few extra years in cellar, but this impressed me. Used a Reidel Syrah glass, big difference from a standard CS/Red glass, especially with nose. Dark ruby red color with some viscosity along the glass edge. Big floral nose with dark chocolate and ripe blueberries, and still had a little heat. Big flavors throughout each sip and light tannins that don't approach until backend. Soft velvety dark fruit, blackberry and black cherries, up front. Gains intensity as it moves over palate. Added a little sage, cedar and district licorice flavor as it moves towards finish. Little white pepper and subtle tannins on a LONG silky finish. Really fun wine, much different from what in remember in tasting room 6 years ago. Sad this was last bottle. Enjoy it anytime if you still have it!
