| Community Tasting Notes (average 89 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 4 notes) | | | Tasted by tcfishler on 1/8/2010: Medium brownish garnet. Warm, almost southern rhoneish overtones in this nose, but with a cigar butt character that sets it apart. Nice balance facilitated by juicy ripe acids. A little weird but well done. (66 views) | | | Tasted by huevosconvino on 11/14/2009: Hold; not ready yet, but still decent. Very promising. (132 views) | | | Tasted by french16 on 10/29/2009 & rated 91 points: Off the list at Wild Ginger. Bottled at Hubert Lignier winery, this is a very good GV. Alrealdy evolded with slightly brickish rims, super nose of sweet cherry, nice floral notes along with some blackberry. Supple tannins, med body and acidity, palate matching the nose with a touch of smoke completing a pretty long finish. This won't be for the long term but this is a real pleasure to drink. Fresh and balanced. (223 views) | | | Tasted by winenewb068 on 8/30/2009 & rated 87 points: Decanted about an hour and a half before dinner. Quite a nice nose, but on the palate it's a bit of a let-down. Medium bodied/length. (201 views) |

About red wine
Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne)
Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.
