2007 Agharta Wines Exhibit C

Estate: Agharta Wines

Region: Forestville, Sonoma County, North Coast, California, United States of America



Tasting Note:August 10, 2017

Thank goodness this was not like the last bottle we opened last year, which was definitely corked. Deep garnet red with ruby hues. Tons of blue fruits, cherry cola, cinnamon and plums on the nose. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and strong acidity. A bit of alcohol on the palate that is not fully integrated into the wine yet. Notes of berries on the palate with a savory undertone, some tobacco, spices and eucalyptus. Medium plus to long finish.
