Community Tasting Note

    September 2, 2020 - I wish I had more of this wine, which I do not, so that I could try it again, because this bottle puzzled me. My guest liked it much more than I did, and, as another reviewer has mentioned, it does not have classic Pinot Noir characteristics. Instead, its aromatic and flavor profiles seem like an amalgam of different medium-weight red wines. It is rather dark blood-brick, with a medium+ body, a pleasing mid-palate, and an almost too sappy, bittersweet finish. The aromas that others found compelling seemed muted to me, but it does have raspberry, sweet citrus and mint. Based on this bottle I cannot tell if it is in sharp decline or if it is just evolving into the next phase of a glorious Burgundy-like life. As I said, this wine puzzled me.
