Community Tasting Note

  January 5, 2018 - Pretty full-throttle stuff -- can definitely see why the reviews here are polarized. But on the other hand it's consistent with the Tensley house style, so there shouldn't be any surprises. Complex palate with just about everything in the red fruit spectrum, spicy cola, and soy sauce-glazed mushrooms. Nice toasty vanilla from the oak. There is the bitter/astringent harshness that others have mentioned though, which I'm guessing is alcohol burn. It's a real detractor -- this would rate at least a couple points higher otherwise. But if you don't mind some candied fruit and booziness in your pinot, you should enjoy this plenty.
