Community Tasting Note

Sunday, September 24, 2023 - Sometimes I just feel the need to sulk. Not often. Just sometimes. It could be something someone said or did. It doesn’t really matter. What does matter — is wine. Some wines are perfect for sulking. You can sit by yourself, sip wine and sulk. It’s a thing.
On this occasion, I opened a bottle of 2016 WillaKenzie Kiana Pinot Noir. I tend to decant wine and either leave it in the decanter or pour it and let it sit in the glass. Today I did both. About an hour to an hour and a half total. Its character evolves with time, which is another way of saying I took small sips along the way. At first, the wine was a bit brusque. I could relate. But eventually this Pinot Noir emerged to show its true colors. It was lovely, fragrant and complex. This seven year old wine has lots to offer. It was moody but then so was I.
