Community Tasting Note

JRockEsq Likes this wine:

Saturday, December 16, 2023 - Method: semi-blind; decanted off sediment and back into bottle 1 hour before tasting; Cab glass; chilled

Look: Medium Ruby

Nose: Lighter red fruit (strawberry), floral, faint forest, light orange peel

Palate: Ripe strawberry, blood orange; med+ finish dried herbs, tarragon, white pepper; dry; medium+ body; medium+ tannin; med+ to high- acidity; low- heat

Overall thoughts: Good flavor, decent complexity and nice body, but the higher tannin and especially the heat threw me off and I didn't guess this was a Pinot. I would've liked this quite a bit more if I couldn't detect the heat, even though it wasn't very noticeable. This isn't what I'm looking for when I open a Pint (even a big CA Pinot), but it's still a very good wine.
