Community Tasting Notes 10

  February 8, 2013 - Taney in color and opened up after an hour. I chose this wine to cook with (since it was time to move it off the shelf) and all but one glass is working its way into a coq au vin. It's deep berry and leathery at this point with still plenty of tannins. It will hold up well to cooking so I am looking forward to it. Today's theme from W. C. Fields "I always cook with wine and some of its keys it into the food."

  November 22, 2012 - Drank w/ Thanksgiving meal and went well with turkey. Balanced with earthy notes, enough acidity to hold up to food, but not overly acidic or tart.

  March 3, 2012 - Probably drank this too late. Not much to it. Not bad but nothing special.

  November 11, 2010 - Tawny color, this wine has started 'over the hill.' Probably was a 90pt wine in its prime, but now it is all leather and dark berry (and not as good as that sounds.
  $29.99 OH Retail.

  January 21, 2010 - I like this pinot, but it has a sharp, earthy edge and I suspect it would be a pretty polarizing wine.
