Community Tasting Note

  • ChrisBeacham wrote: 87 points

    July 25, 2012 - Old Sterling Vineyards reds: Soaked cork. Brown edges, medium red ruby. Much darker than the Pinot. Musty, dusty nose, a little funk. Alive. Astringent finish. More soy now after a bit. Gaining weight. Bit mint and meat. In an hour bigger. Meaty. Not bad. Lots more sediment than the 71 Pinot. Survived to day 2 but more muted nose, held on better than the Pinot.

    An interesting experience and well worth the $10 from Winebid.
