2010 Sterling Vineyards Pinot Noir Vintner's Collection Central Coastmore |
4/29/2012 - vijay0129 wrote: 87 pointsNose was fruit as was taste...for a pinot noir a little more ripe tasting fruit than I expected but decent for a weekday drink. Upping rating after tasting after a few hours. Fruit is still prominent, not surprising given this is a central coast. But nice finish and some vanilla and silkiness |
