Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 28, 2018 - msuwright nailed the descriptors on this wine. I'm not sure how much more I can add. It is lighter in style than I would have expected from Greg Brewer's wines, especially the ones he made at Melville. I hope this is more indicative of the vintage and that B-C is not going through a stylistic shift the same way that KB, Sea Smoke, Kistler etc have gone through. I think a lot of people enjoyed the B-C wines of the earlier 2000's, including myself. For sure, there is neither the ripe juiciness nor the occasional green stemminess that earlier vintages may have had. Today, this Mount Carmel is dominated by tart berry fruits. The alcohol is there and, just personal preference, but I'm a little more bothered when a lighter pinot is showing its alcohol.
