Once again, this complex Pinot comes out a bit hot on first pour (over 15 percent alcohol). Let it breathe for at least 1-2 hours and it settles into a multifaceted expression of cherries and soft oak. Completely different and rewarding once it blows off some steam.

This is one expressive and complex Pinot. Bold on initial entry the fruit and oak integration is nice once it breathes for an hour. Almost Zin-like in body, Twisted Sister rewards those seeking a bolder non-Burgundian wine.

very disappointed with this. briefly tasted sweet and good at a tasting... but horrible last night... flawed? I can't tell since I can't even drink the wine without cringing.. never try calcareous again.
