Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 28, 2020 - This is a wine that tastes entirely artificial. Light in colour but I couldn't get any varietal pinot aromas, anything that might have existed is completely hidden behind caramel and vanilla. The palate is smooth with little to no tannin and the caramel flavours come through. Then the finish is like a whack of vanilla extract. It's the Yellow Tail of California I'm afraid. I don't know what yield they produce this pinot at but it's a shocker of a wine. There are plenty of positive reviews but this (wine snob though I may sound) is not a serious wine. It's a mass-market 'creation' and for £14 in the UK you can find pinot that is much more true to its origin and variety. This smelt and tasted like a wine that could have some from anywhere.
