Community Tasting Note

Thursday, April 22, 2021 - Bookclub--Wines Tasted Blind: Poured blind, wedged into a flight where Baudry Boissee was on its left and Halcon Alturas on its right. Interestingly to me, the Model Farm is made with 50% stem inclusion (one clone is destemmed and the other is 100% whole cluster). Yet, with the aromatics flying out of the other two wines, especially the Halcon, the Model Farm to me was more subtle. Delicate, with a boysen and cherry profile, too. The table finished the bottle and I didn't get a chance to retaste the wine but overall I thought the comments were positive and this is a good wine for Sean and Joanna to add to their portfolio. My only second guess would have been to have put their Petaluma Gap syrah into the flight instead, to seek if I could have achieved the aromatic balance with the other two wines, as both were more powerful than the Model Farm last night.
