Wednesday, March 3, 2021 - Day 1 if pinot was no fun. More austere than elegant, more admirable than enjoyable, and the stemmiest mofo I ever hope to endure. Wonder if this test is doctrinaire, either in technique or a need to epater le Parkereoisie? I hope this authenticity blows off tomorrow, but for now, F this hippy

3/5 stems defer to a bit of licorice, and I respect the technique to get a wine that tastes higher than its listed 14.5 to simultaneously feel relatively weightless, but the drop off from the elegance and specificity of pinot to the vagueness of grenache is simply insurmountable to me. Oh, the humanité!

3/6,7 Indistinctly elegant. @$18, might get again and be more patient with it. Chiseled grenache; silk purse, sow's ear? Idk...
