2022 Mark West Pinot Noir Californiamore |
3/19/2024 - WineNerd76 Likes this wine: 89 pointsPale ruby in color; cherries, raspberries, and baking spices on the nose; medium plus acidity; low tannins; tastes like strawberries, black cherries, crushed gravel, and a hint of vanilla with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok. I like it. Better after decanting for 30 minutes. Tastes a little sweet. I think there's some residual sugar, but it may just be the fruit flavors. It's definitely a fruit bomb. |

Trying to give it a chance, i can go both ways with this vintage. It has quite dark color, and quite a bit of richness. But, there is barely enough Pinot type flavors and funk to earn the title. The fruit flavors don’t differentiate themselves very well, and the acid really seems artificial and even abrasive on the palate long after the finish. But, it tasted fine with hamburgers and didn’t cost very much. |

4/3/2023 - Achromat Does not like this wine: 75 pointsThis wine is lacking fruit, is way out of balance regarding acid (too little) and is simple, Slight residual sugar makes matters worse. A dull wine; avoid. They have made much better chardonnay in the past. |

5/26/1990 - MicklethePickle Likes this wine: 87 pointsWith K at home at dinner (coq au vin). Brilliant, pretty medium ruby color. Slightly diffuse cherry aroma. On the palate, still a bitt tannic, but with good body and weight, slightly rough, fruity, earthy flavor. Firm, flavorful wine, could have used a bit more time to smooth out. 5-10-15-7: 87/100. |

3/17/2023 - bkh Likes this wine: 89 pointsDefinitely very berry, cherry and blackberry, but smooth to the palate, easy to drink and quite enjoyable. Full bodied Pinot Noir, but with a sweet flair. Would pair well with steak, blackened seafood, or lamb. |

This wine seems to have a stigma to it where many feel that it can’t be very good because of how cheap it is. I’d challenge anyone to taste this wine blind, along with other random Pinot noirs, and say it’s bad. By no means am I saying this is an elite Pinot noir, but at minimum this is 85+ points. |
