The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 88 points
November 24, 2020 - The Third Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir (My House, Houston, TX): Retail $20. Funk. Not quite Brett, I don’t think, but there is a reductive, sulfur thing going on. Normally, I like the funk, but this is a bit over the top, even for me. The palate is fruity, but that funk is definitely still there. Very Good. 88 Points. thedrunkencyclist.com

This is a likeable wine but the funky, toasty, sulfur reduction outlasts all the other aromas on the nose. I'll post a note in the coming week or so. You are spot on.
