April 13, 2009 - There are plenty of bad reviews on CellarTracker; Lord knows I have written my share. There are an equal number of poor ratings and I am also equally guilty of poor scoring. Because of the way that Eric set up CellarTracker those bad reviews and poor ratings do not get flamed by the more knowledgeable reviewers. For that we should all be thankful because I am sure that flaming would happen and I am sure that it would reduce the frequency and breathed of reviews. I bring this up because on the CellarTracker Forum there is a thread that is (as of this writing) 14 pages long with over 400 posts that basically makes fun of selected reviews. Thank you Eric for designing CellarTracker as you did.
This seems to be the little Pinot that could. Last January I stated that it was “time to drink up”. It wasn’t. This wine continues to surprise and there was no need for me to hurry up and drink over the last two years. Now I regret being down to my last bottle. Wine is wonderful right out of the bottle. There are several variations on cherries in the aroma. “Pinot Candy” cherry, dusty cherry, and some cherry fruit jam that all faded into a general berries and herbs. Soft and comfortable on the palate. Dusty cherry, some coffee and chocolate, and red berries in the taste. Not much acid or tannin but enough for a soft but pleasant finish.3,169 views
