Community Tasting Note

IJC Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 16, 2022 - Wonderful.

Without doubt, this vintage is in its prime drinking window. And while it may be possible to age this wine another 5+ years, I'm not convinced the incremental return worth the wait. At any rate, that question for me is moot, as this was my last bottle of the 2009s.

I have been buying/drinking the Keefer Vinyard since 2006, attracted by its profile of bright red fruit top notes with an underpinning of medium/ darker fruits, a thread of cinnamon spice running through it, and a perfect/ near perfect balance of fruit and acidity. The 2009 is a benchmark example, and with its now 13 years of age, a wine of considerable character as well as charm.

Rated +3 on a scale of -1 to +3.
