Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, April 4, 2012 - Drank over two nights, with and without food. 13.2% a.b.v. Very dark brickish maroon color. Medium legs. Initial nose shows some classic Cameron/Jory funk along with violets, iron filings, and cinnamon. Initial palate is full of well-ripened fruit. Low acidity, but given the heat of the vintage, there's nice balance to this bottle. Well-placed tannins as well as a little minerality on the mid palate help to further frame and positively define the fruit. Full, but clean back palate, and nice length on the finish. Showed equally well alone and with food. I can see this bottle appealing equally to folks who prefer full-bodied pinots as well as those who like a little more spine and structure in their pinots. Well-made bottle. Nice.
