Community Tasting Notes 5

  August 22, 2020 - Good I’d rather standard California Pinot. Dark enough that I suspect some non-Pinot juice was added for color. Profile is a bit candied as one expects from Russian Rover. Has it with a St. Innocent (Willamette Valley Pinot) and it seemed shallow and obvious next to the more profound, nuanced, savory, and funky St. I.

  December 1, 2019 - Had w/Thanksgiving dinner; Didn't take detailed notes while drinking it. Nice California pinot noir which is to say darker in color and more concentrated than Oregon or Burg from same price point, but not overwrought or jammy...Kept things in balance and overall presentation we elegant, just in that more fruit-forward Cali style. Popular around the table.

  April 21, 2018 - Deeper garnet, approaching purple in color; very dark for a pinot. Fruit notes are of dried cherries. Very little of the Russian River cherry cola/ forest floor, bright cherry that I expected. Seems to be a very ripe pinot, had to recheck the bottle to make sure that I hadn't mistakenly grabbed a Darioush shiraz. Opulent, ripe and rich, pleasant enough, but not what I expected from a pinot.

  March 23, 2017 - Rich and fruit forward. Strawberry and spice come through on the medium to full body. Long lingering finish.
