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 wide open and highly perfumed with red fruits, pomegranate, earth notes, herbs, baking spices, brown sugar, plums, and a heaping dose of roses and wild flowers. The nose is extremely complex with a much high-toned quality to it.

Taste: Medium bodied with medium/high acidity and sneaky tannins. The feel is sexy and silky with red fruits, pomegranate, baking spices, herbs, plums, roses, and wild flowers on the back end. The structure takes hold a bit just to remind you how youthful it is.

Overall: This is a stunner right now with the possibility of even more down the road. Even blind, this was a real winner with all of us taking notice.
