Community Tasting Notes 5

  May 21, 2023 - Cherry and plastic on the nose, moves right into the mouth with that cherry jolly rancher sort of thing, quick transition into a deep, dense core (earth and distinct cotton flavor like licking a tshirt) with all that candy silliness left behind; narrows a bit on the finish with good acidity that lingers long. Density from tannin is there but it's very integrated and in the background all the way. YUM.

  September 4, 2022 - Superb Pinot Noir, very fresh and can age but good now. Nice fruit but Burgundian minerality

  December 25, 2020 - ABV 13.75%. 35 years old vines from Temperance Hills.
  Good nose, floral and expressive. Good mouthfeel, fine tannins, vibrant acidity, pretty good concentration and length. Finished a little spicy and slight warmth. Good spices and some oaks lingering at backend. Burgundian like. A bottle for blind tasting, not sure if I am able to pick this up as from Oregon. Well made and very enjoyable. A producer to look out for in the future. The first 1/3 coravined and completely forgotten until 16 months later, still showing quite well, no sign of oxidation. Floral nose and good mouthfeel, the only fault is some warmth at backend, I suspect ABV is probably above 14% rather than 13.7% on the label. Nevertheless, a pretty good showing. Tasted like a big and ripe Chambolle Musigny.

  July 16, 2019 - Pinot in the City (Chicago, IL): Walk-around tasting, brief note. Big step up. Ripe black and red cherry with sneaky structure that keeps it balanced with good weight. Good now. From Temperance Hill.
