Community Tasting Note

Thursday, July 8, 2010 - Heavy artificial oak on the nose after pop and pour. Smelled more like an average California Cabernet than a Pinot. I took a sip and knew I had to let this wine breathe. It was totally one dimensional and tasted like a thin Cabernet with heavy oak. Picked up the glass again after half an hour and got a little bit burned rubber on the nose, some vanilla, oak was still dominant. The oak mellowed out a bit in the mouth but not by much. Still tasted like a Cabernet than a Pinot. That said it was smooth but with a short finish. If you like oaky fruit bombs, you may like this wine. I certainly didn't.
