Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, September 9, 2009 - When I think of, and drink, Santa Rita Hills Pinots, I am expecting a big, mouthwatering blast of strawberry, cherries and red fruit. After all, If I didn't want this, I would drink a Burgundy. I am a fan of Brewer Clifton, but was disappointed in this single vineyard effort. Don't misunderstand my disappointment, this wine is very good, just not representative of these pinots. The wine has the typical pinot nose of forest floor and muted red fruit, but restrained. The attack is also very restrained, lacking the fruit of which I spoke. It does however transition to a smooth mid palate of pomegrate, with hints of anise and bitters. The finish is bright with balanced acidity, and is at least 60 seconds long. This wine is screaming for food!....If drank alone, it is a bit restrained and tannic, but still very good.
