October 25, 2017 - Bottle was corked !!
October 1, 2017 - Burgundy color with a muted bouquet and even less flavor with some raspberry and Burgundy spiciness. Not much body or depth with a fairly short finish. The first bottle tasted was much better. Flowers Pinot Noir can be good, if not great, and often reminds me of many Burgundy reds, with too little of everything, except hype. What a pity when it is in a wine region that can produce very expressive Pinot Noir.
December 23, 2016 - Burgundy color with a bouquet and flavor of raspberries, with moderate Pinot Noir spiciness in the finish. Very much a Flowers' wine, less expansive than a Martinelli, Marcassin, or Aubert, perhaps like adding rice to gumbo. Good balance with some nuance, and a fairly long finish. I drank this wine just before Christmas (with gumbo) A fellow Cellar Tracker taster drank it at Compere Lapin (Brother Rabbit), a New Orleans restaurant, in July. My family ate there on Christmas eve and had a wonderful meal, including crispy pig ears. So if someone should ever ask you what to drink with pig ears, say "try a Flower's Pinot Noir."
October 2, 2016 - Similar to our last note; holding very, and maybe gaining some complexity over three nights.
March 12, 2016 - Consistent with prior bottle
November 27, 2015 - Really nice soft floral nose. Very light wine, kind of like village Burgundy. Not overly fruity, but some sour cherry notes. Doesn't need a lot of time in the bottle. Drinkable now.
November 26, 2015 - I thought it had gone bad after a few hours open. Disappointing for Thanksgiving. Second night was worse.
September 15, 2015 - Not my style of Pinot Noir. The body is way to lite for my taste. Sea Smoke and Pahmeyer have spoiled me. $45
July 8, 2015 - Great complement to our red snapper, sorry it was our only bottle
June 21, 2015 - No need to decant. Bright aroma with complex PN flavors on first pour that just kept getting better. A very nice bottle of wine. Brunch included beets, fish, Blue Crab, pork, cheese and chocolate and this wine complemented everything.
