Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 24, 2019 - This one was nice. Had a 1.5L bottle. Popped it open, and it showed some astringency with high toned red fruit, a hint of cocoa and a bit too noticeable wood. Color was a deep, dark purple-red. Decided to use half the bottle for a beef short-ribs braise the next day. After getting some air, this really turned into a much more palatable wine. Dark cherry and berry fruit was prominent and the wood notes had faded. Still had some
rich chocolaty notes but well integrated. Overall, resembled a perfectly nice WA merlot; really enjoyed the day 2 version.
