This wine to me is way over oaked. The winery says it was in oak for 8 months. To me that means the fruit is reslly weak for only eight months in probably used french oak. There is a bit of strawberry and earthiness, but it is over powered by the tree branch exploding in my mouth. ($11)

Wines In A Line: October - Pinot 'round the world; 10/13/2009-10/20/2009 (chez moi): Ruby red. Pomegranate and bright red fruit on the nose. A bit tart in the mouth. Tannins greater than acidity. I got a touch of bitterness on the finish. Tied for second place in the group's overall asessment.
