Community Tasting Note

jfagan Likes this wine:

Saturday, May 6, 2017 - Decanted for 3 hours. Nearly opaque color. Still reticent aromas of red and black cherries, iron and earth but still so primary. Seamless and harmonious on the palate but just so young and firm. Please, lord, give me the strength to not open another bottle of this for several more years.
Day 2 (un-gassed, cork pushed back in). Starting to open nicely with notes of cinnamon, allspice, and brambly red fruit on the nose. Deep and structured on the palate yet perfectly balanced with good ripeness on the attack. It would be easy to call this "Burgundian" but it is, in fact, an American classic Pinot. 93+ points on day two with lots of upside potential. 2020-2025+. Yeah! 6 more bottles in the cellar.
