Community Tasting Note

VAGenius Likes this wine:

Monday, June 13, 2022 - PnP. Meaty nose with smoky dark plum, pencil eraser, and notes of salami. Powerful wave of peppery, dark red fruits with an astringent streak, tart cherry notes, lots of damp earth, iron, and salty acidity. Chunky tannins, chicory, ripe plum fruit, more peppery notes, and an oak finale that lingers with vanilla. This needs food and a decant and I might have given a higher score. John Duval may be involved but this is a Washington Syrah without the ripe fruit component you'd find in his Australia wines.
