Community Tasting Note

• RyanJames wrote: 93 points

  August 24, 2012 - This is seriously impressive stuff. I was expecting much less for the $30 tariff, and this outperformed most $60+ domestic pinots I've tried in the past 2 years. Very complex. Very well-balanced despite the listed alcohol # (14.8%). I didn't get any of the heat. Nose is dark red fruit, mocha, smoke (wildfires?), some mushroom/earth. The mouthfeel was silky, and I'm trying to find more of this for a weekly drinker.
