Community Tasting Notes 1

  January 29, 2022 - 14% alcohol. Tasted blind.
  
  Translucent blood-red color. Fragrant, meaty and somewhat sweetish nose with aromas of wild strawberries, some sunny dark fruit, light beefy tones, a little bit of savory wood spice, a hint of red cherry and a touch of raspberry marmalade. The wine is ripe and rich yet only light-to-medium-bodied on the palate with sunny flavors of cherries and ripe redcurrants, some sweet dark forest fruits and a little bit of savory meatiness. The medium-to-moderately high acidity feels a bit soft and the light, supple tannins don't bring much firmness to the wine either. The finish is ripe, juicy and slightly warm with subtly sweet-toned flavors of redcurrants, some gamey meat, light savory notes of wood spice, a little bit of wild strawberry, a savory hint of meaty umami and a touch of tart red plum.
  
  A ripe and sunny Pinot Noir that shows nice vibrancy of fruit, but ultimately comes across as a bit too soft and sweetly-fruited for my preference. This is a nice everyday wine, but I prefer my Pinots with drier fruit flavors and more freshness and acidity. The wine might improve over a few years, but I'm not really expecting big things from it.
