’11 Taste check
Posted in 2011 Moaveni Vineyard Syrah, 2011 Moaveni Vineyard Zinfandel on Monday, December 5th, 2011 by adminI tasted both the ’11 zin and ’11 syrah:
- Zin: most of the H2S was gone, although I think there was still a little. Something blew off in the first few seconds, and then everything smelled great. The taste was bright and zin fruit. I will need to keep checking this. I could hear the crackle of either the ferment finishing or the MLG going or both.
- Syrah: smelled and tasted good. Much less tannic than last year, although you can feel it. We’ll see what the barrel adds. I could easily hear the crackle of the MLF. This one was totally dry, so it has to be the MLF.
