Big Basin Vineyards GSM Gabilan Mountains 2014

Tasting at the Big Basin Tasting Room in Saratoga, CA. Medium ruby. Big fruit and acid but not jammy. Blackberry, raspberry, blueberry. Mineral petroleum finish.

A smell of untoasted oak, faint liquorice, jammy black fruits; black plum, blackcurrant that almost smell like candy, but more savoury. A less intense smell of tobacco. Tastes very fresh, fruity and some hints of red plum. You can feel some tannins and acidity with a full, oaky finish.
