Community Tasting Note

Monday, December 11, 2023 - If I can just scoochie on in here.. (Napa): Nose showed aromatic red flowers and berries, lots of clean and pure fruits. The clean fruits are accentuated by river washed gravel, providing freshness to the aromas.

Palate showed clean dark red fruits with nice swiftness on the palate, and dark tree bark with a touch of bitterness. White flower pedals on the palate makes the already clean fruits seem more natural. Clean minerals on the finish with a bit of shine. Savory pencils eventually develop on the finish as well.

Will take some time in bottle to integrate more. The wine at the moment seems "separated" in terms of flavors, as each note wanted to show out for themselves only. Might be a while before they know how to start working with each other. Airing it out and following through should be okay too.
