Friday, November 3, 2023 - JD Friday Wine Group - GA Host (City Club FW - Wine Room): Tasted blind - fairly dark, but transparent in the glass. Lots of fruit and earth, a bit of cola. High acid. It’s crazy to me that I tasted this wine blind two weeks in a row, after never tasting it before. This one was more tightly wound than the previous one, but wasn’t decanted as long. I called it a 2017 Clos de Tart because it tasted even younger than the previous one I had. Still delicious, and without any hints would have called it a California pinot.

You seem to confirm my worst fear having not tasted them first myself and reading some other notes... over-extracted, heavily oaked, California style...UGH! I hate "cherry cola" flavors in my Burgundy/Pinot Noir! Thanks for the input, I may have to sell mine...
Cheers!
