Community Tasting Note

Ombibulous Likes this wine:

Monday, October 27, 2014 - The nose is rich, and the flavour matches, and is even a bit richer. On the palate, blackberry and blackcurrant. The finish is medium in length. It tastes like a Wilamette Valley Pinot Noir, but earthier. I like Carneros Pinot Noir. (Methinks I taste a bit of "Sonoma dust." Or is that a myth?) Per label, Lone Tree Vineyard contributes depth of flavour, while Winery Lake Vineyard gives floral characteristics. I paid $9 for a half bottle, so I wasn't expecting greatness, and this wine tasted better than expected. If you have a half bottle, I wouldn't wait till 2018; I would drink by 2017 or even 2016. I just don't taste enough tannins to go to 2018. Overall value: 4 stars of 5. Overall impression: very good.
