  7/3/2021 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 92 Points

  Retail $55. Another "second" bottle from my Second Annual World's Largest Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir in 2019. While I liked this bottle then (90 pts), I feel it is a couple of notches above today. Dark in the glass with rich black and red berry fruit, this wine, at least in the glass, would fall into the "brooding" category. Vanilla, earth, and hints of anise and oak are also present on the nose. The palate is rich, fruity, full, voluptuous, and engaging. Yes, there is a ton of fruit, but it is balanced by the zingy tartness, earth, and subtle tannins.

  The Second Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir: Retail $55. Slightly cough syrupy both on the nose and the palate, this is pleasant, though, with a lengthy finish. Very Good to Excellent. 89-91 Points. thedrunkencyclist.com
