Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 3, 2011 - A very fun red blend (10 grapes I think!?) that I feel really expresses a lot of terroir. Right out of the bottle I smell earthy notes of dirt, minerals, stone etc. Even a little wet leaves and mildew... neither of which are negative in my opinion, but rather add to the complexity and character of the wine. On the palate it's a tad thin like previous Abbot's Tables have come, but bursting with juicy red fruits - red plum, raspberry, plus a little licorice. Very little tannin but plenty of acid leaves the mouth watering and wet. The finish is tart with a little spice. All in all a simple easy drinking wine that is pleasant, interesting and as I said before - fun!
