October 11, 2023 - 2021 Oregon Pinots Blind: My T6th, Group's 6th. Keep in mind I am a lover of light reds, I drink Trousseau and Poulsard and Rossese regularly so I am not unfamiliar with this sort of wine.
This is the lightest wine I've encountered in years. Its almost, but not quite, a rose. Very very pale and transparent. It's fragrant and has good acid, with tart cherry fruit and the tiniest hint of vanilla, but wow is this dilute. A fun light wine for summer, but I can't imagine aging this and this is outrageously overpriced - its like it's trying to be Chambolle but it missed that Chambolles retain their delicate fruit and florals while packing unexpected length and concentration; that's what makes it special. This by contrast is insubstantial.3 people found this helpful 1,480 views
