Community Tasting Note

Saturday, July 18, 2020 - To be fair, we drank this wine well past it's drinking window - perhaps things would have been different if we'd done so a couple of years ago. As it was, by a series of chance events we drank it with a spicy North African lamb-shank and couscous. The sweetness of the wine (!?), therefore, became a reasonable accompaniment to the chilli heat in the food.
But this wine was a puzzle. If we had tasted it blind, we would have said that it was a Californian Zinfandel. I wonder what you have to do to produce a wine like this from Pinot Noir - wait until the fruit is over-ripe, perhaps, and then kill the fermentation early? It really wasn't to our taste, so we won't be troubling the supplier to get us more of this.
