Community Tasting Note

Friday, January 1, 2016 - Some blind 2013 Northern California Pinots to ring in the new year (Rich's, Chicago, IL): Nose: The nose is a bit tight and unyielding with tart red fruits, raspberries, some orange peel, rhubarb, cranberries, and mixed berries. The notes that are poking through are excellent, it's just in fleeting moments right now.

Taste: Medium/full bodied with medium+ acidity and chewy tannins. The structure certainly shows off the youth of the wine along with tart red fruits, raspberries, orange peels, rhubarb, cranberries, and some floral notes.

Overall: I wasn't too surprised when this was revealed. I do expect this to show a lot more down the road as the stuffing is there, it just doesn't want to come out and play right now.
