Wednesday, May 17, 2023 - [0.8] Indie w/ Peter pre-MW exam (Indie Wine Bar): (blind)
Med minus ruby, garnet rim.
Slightly reductive ripe red cherry fruit. Very slight impression of confected fruit (carbonic or whole cluster).
Slight oak, 14% (in hindsight, I was probably off - it's around 13%) alcohol, elevated (medium plus) acid, med minus tannins.

Lateral group: thin-skinned, high alcohol, low tannins.
- Pinot
- Grenache - would be lower acid, probably more oxidative, fruit character more strawberry vs. cherry.

Guess: Sonoma Pinot 2018, good quality. RRV. Riper style.
Actual: 2011 Peay "Ama" Sonoma Coast Estate pinot.

missed: overestimated alcohol, missed signs of age.

Wow. older than I expected! This is in a great place.
