Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, June 17, 2009 - Popped and poured; in glass 30 minutes. Quite light (proper) color; kind of a dirty, orangish garnet. Very nice nose of crushed volcanic rock, graphite, sweet and sour cherry, some pumice, and every once in a while, a tiny mushroom. Light in body, but very soft and soothing on the palate, showing bright red fruits (strawberry and cherry), soil, nice dry tannins, and no hard edges. Finish is spicy, drying, showing very nice elegance with rocks and strawberries. This is definitely the best Selvapiana since the 2004. It's much lighter than that vintage, but it certainly has the tannins.
