Tasting Notes for winelovr2001

Definitely has that "paxiness" you get in these older pax wines. Nice floral nose with black fruits and tar. Great acid in the finish rounds it all out

Has the potential to be a great wine, but oak is way to strong at this point. Hopefully it will mellow out?

Overly jammy and over blown with sweetness and oak. Sad really.

A massive pinot that has no resemblance to the varietal. The nose is overripe and sappy and the oak is overpowering. Not good.

Good wine and complex, but VERY green. Not stemmy, but green veggies. I love the style that Kevin is going for, but you can't taste terroir if all you taste is veg.

Nose shows smoke, white pepper and dark fruits. Palate is rich and well textured. Wine is ripe without being hot. Well made and wears its oak well.
