2016 Escarpment Pinot Noir Kiwa

Community Tasting Note

Does not like this wine:

Tuesday, September 18, 2018 - in the glass, translucent ruby. On the nose, strawberry and raspberry. On the palate, the same strawberry and raspberry with forest floor, white pepper and sour cherry notes. The finish is lengthy, but acidic. I realize that this and earlier vintages of the wine received staggeringly high scores from the established wine press, but I poured this one down the sink. In fairness to the wine, I should have decanted it for several hours or even a day to determine whether it might integrate with a few years in the cellar. I see that a Cellar Tracker taster predicted that the 2015 could last 10 years. I'm guessing this vintage might last even longer.
