Community Tasting Note

Thursday, August 11, 2011 - Drank over a 2 hr. decant. Meaty, with a little heat on the nose. Deep garnet color to the edge. Medium-high acidity and a bit more residual alcohol than I prefer, with nicely integrated tannins. Fruit gradually disappears over decant. Front of the palate has a savory character with a mid-palate of tobacco & leather and some dark chocolate on the finish. Silky mouth-feel develops over time in the decanter. Really enjoyed this wine, but missed the bigger fruit of some other merlot producers and was hoping for a longer finish.
