Community Tasting Notes 9

  April 27, 2024 - Served blind. This really wowed me, especially in light of the price on these which Sean says are still $35. Ridiculous. Riper tones, with cranberry, black raspberry, pomegranate syrup, blood orange, earth and a stony finish. Damn. I scratch my head how stuff that is represented as CA Pinot Noir, some at 2x-3x the price of this stuff, gets attention when a wine like this 2022 RM SC can show this friigging good. Bravo.

  April 20, 2024 - Just received last night and figured, why not.
  I always enjoy receiving these and they are never the same wine twice. Still recall the quick opening of the 2018 that sent me blasting into the market for more and more I found, a dozen more.
  I don't think this one will have that same effect on me.
  
  I also never recall a RM Pinot being totally devoid of a nose.
  The palate show some pretty fed fruits that certainly need some time to integrate. Pomegranate, near ripe strawberry and a touch of orange peel. It's interesting for sure but I would never pin this for a SC Pinot out of a yones cantina. It has nice balance and deftly made but duh! It's a wee-bit young ya think?
  I think you'd be wise to hold for at least a year I know I will on my other 3

  April 17, 2024 - Pnp. I find this simple right now. Predominantly sour cherry. Pleasant but I expect it to get better. I won’t touch the rest of mine for at least 2-3 years.

  April 9, 2024 - PnP, would have benefitted from a short decant. Darker than some previous releases. Aromas of cherry, raspberry, cranberry, light sandalwood and floral. Similar flavors with cherry, cranberry, raspberry, cedar and floral, light herbal. Medium body. Smooth, medium finish. Good now, but should improve with time.

  April 4, 2024 - This was an okay, weekday Pinot. However, given its price, it is an incredible value. Pretty dark in color. I got tart cherries. Very tannic. Tasted better slightly chilled.
