2muchwine Does not like this wine:
December 29, 2017 - I do not understand this wine at all. There is fruit, identifiable as Pinot Noir. I like Pinot Noir. But it's sweet. No alco-burn, just confected fruit. I want to like it because it's not a high-alcohol, overextracted monster. But does this have RS? Maybe that's not better than excess alcohol in a Pinot. And there's oak. And a little oak is OK with Pinot, if it's a part of the whole. But this isn't. It's like walking into a room and there's a vat of sweet Pinot fruit in one corner and an oak barrel on the other side. It's that separate. Maybe the wine is in an awkward place? It's 7 years old, maybe more time would bring some focus? But right now, I'm not enjoying this bottle - I see some interesting things but it's a bit like a 7 year old human....some things that make you think everything is going to be OK and some things that make you sit up in your seat and wonder if it's all going to turn out well.
