Another Saturday at Knightsbridge - mostly blind (Northbrook, IL): Served double blind to the tasting group this afternoon. I wasn't sure what to expect, given such an early Kistler PN, as well as coming from a vineyard hardly known for the varietal. Group had trouble identifying this as Pinot, despite the strawberry/raspberry fruit profile, largely because of the fruit's sweetness. Still quite fresh fruit throughout with reasonable tannins, giving it some intriguing flavors and aromas, even if also some jagged edges.
