Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 20, 2019 - Brought this bottle back from Oregon from Father's Day 2019 weekend. Opened about 30 mins ago, seems ready to go. Serving at 66f without food. Has the same stalky note in the aromatic, along with a lift of fragrant red fruit. This bottle shows a leather note, akin to something I might think of as Mourvedre. The red fruit is juicy cherry, along with some blueberry and a good burst of watermelon that flavors the finish. The acidity gives the finish a good lift. I'd be stumped if this was poured blind to me, as I'd be guessing all over the board as to what it is. A fun wine with lots of approachable flavors and expressive fruit.
