Tanins still over power and doubt the hidden cherry and raspberries will develop. I will drink one in 6 months and another in a year, but doubtful it gets better. |

2008 Sineann Pinot Noir Resonance VineyardWillamette Valley more |
5/10/2023 - kvls08@gmail.com Likes this wine: 91 pointsSlight brown color to the edges on the ruby color, expected for a pinot of this age. It has heldup remarkably well with spicenotes on the nose, but lacking any bright fruit. Pleasant mouth feel with cherry mid palate and a black cherry finish. Very drinkable, but was probably better 4 years ago. Drink them up if you have them! |
