Community Tasting Note

  • fclarity wrote: 92 points

    February 22, 2020 - This wine had a deep red center and very light red rims. The medium intensity nose generated rhubarb, sour cherry, tan spices, and some mineral notes.

    This wine was a bit disjointed when first poured with some prickly acidity. After 8 hours of decanting, the wine was rich and ripe with a nice texture and substantial (for a pinot) rounded tannin. It had good length.

    This is a nice little pinot that is still a few years away from its ideal drinking zone. I don't think it is going to get a lot better but age could release some additional complexity.
