2020 Primrose Trail Pinot Noir Grande Réserve

Russian River Valley more

3/25/2024 - IamNotDrinkingAny#@!%Merlot Does not like this wine: 75 points

Awful, almost undrinkable. Drained half down the sink.

This is barely recognizable as a dry table wine, never mind as a Pinot Noir. Costo charged $13.99. They should have paid me that amount - or more.

Creamy, soft, round, lush. Not in a good way. Lack of focus and bite, short finish and overall just a dull fruity Pinot. Should trade for closer to $15-20. Disappointed... this is a storied vineyard.

9/12/2023 - IamNotDrinkingAny#@!%Merlot Does not like this wine: 82 points

Varietally this does not reflect Cabernet or Syrah whatsoever. Light, fruity, short, clipped finish. Tastes more like a lighter style Zin or Grenache. Very poor effort.

A great wine to get hammered on. And to serve to people who like Caymus and other such over-wrought fruit monstrosities.

Otherwise this was pretty bad. Drinkable, but bad.

Disgusting, vile juice. Consistent with my last experience. Poured down the drain. CellarTracker for some reason forces a minimum score of 50. This crap deserves less.

Either poorly made or some bottle flaw. This tasted like a 20 year old bottle that faded a long time ago. Disappointing, even at the $20 price level.

Utter crap. Over evolved, raisiny, hot. Poured it down the drain. Thankfully it was only 375ml and $6.99 at Total Wines & More.

Beautiful older wine from a controversial vintage. We had this from magnum so possible it was holding up better than a 750ml. I would give this no more than perhaps 5 more years of life.... but very elegant and wonderful to drink at this stage.

Very, very different from the first bottle - in a good way. First one must have been a flawed bottle or some serious bottle variation going on.

This one was lively, balanced and good fruit with some structure. Very enjoyable.

10/1/2021 - IamNotDrinkingAny#@!%Merlot wrote: 87 points

This either needs a lot more time in bottle, or a much longer decant. Opened it - no decant - first sip an hour later. Light and elegant but lacking depth and complexity. Tasted more of a simple Chianti to go with a pizza. Will give this another go perhaps in a year or at least with a serious decant.

This wine is virtually dead. Raisiny, one dimensional, probably never great but certainly would have been much better within 2-3 years of the vintage...

Disappointed with my Seattle-based online purveyor of small batch wines.... did they (he) even taste this?????
