In order to forestall my inherent scepticism with most California Pinot Noir’s, I reserved my note writing until the second day opened, before passing judgement. It didn’t do much good. This offering from Cline doesn’t taste much like Pinot. The color is dark purple like Syrah. The nose is alcoholic with some blueberry fruit. The palate shows some forest floor and bark flavors. The mid palate has some licorice and light cola, not much fruit. More tannins than expected from Pinot.

Must be a fruit day - smells like a big fruit driven Pinot in a good way. Soft on the mid palate as well.

Paired with duck. Some oaky notes and a long taste. Think this can develop further
