Saturday, April 2, 2011 - Pinot Noirs from Around The World (BLIND!): Imagine a high school woods shop class, cutting wood on the bandsaw, but in this class all the boys are wearing too much stinky cologne, and all the students are smoking menthol cigarettes. That whole scene... that's what I get when I smell this. Totally different than the other wines. Very light bodied... it's almost imperceivable that I have anything in my mouth at all. There's some of those wood flavors, mild spice, mild tart acid, but the body is very strangely light. Lots of in mouth aeration also shows a green berry note. The finish is spicy, with more of the menthol cigarettes. I guess this is interesting, but it's not really something I'd want to drink regularly. I enjoy the exercise of tasting it, but I fear even one glass would grow very tiring very quickly.
