Red	2008 Kanzler Vineyards Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast more	Options Post a Comment View gunpwdr's profile Report Issue 6/8/2010 - gunpwdr wrote: 83 points Nose: Tree sap, maple syrup, baking spices, potpourri, orange peel, cherries, blackberries. Palate: Brown sugar, molasses, and baking spices on the attack. Root beer, sappy syrup, noticeable tannins on the mid-palate. There is scant acidity to prop this pinot up and it is defined by its big, sappy, syrupy sugar. I want to like the 2008 as much as the 2007, but this wine is just too fat and I don't see enough acidity to balance things out with some bottle age. Even if you like big, rich, syrupy pinot, this one still came off as overbearing to me.

I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I sincerely feel that 83 is entirely too low of a rating for this wine. So be it.
