Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Friday, January 12, 2018 - For full disclosure, I don't drink a lot of Pinot Noir, as the price/quality always seemed too high. I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Color was ruby red. I agree with earlier reviews mentioning earth and smoke. Also an attractive woody aspect. There is ample fruit too, but I can't equate it with any particular berry. Maybe a tiny bit of raspberry. The wine was not overly sweet, and had no sign of bitterness (many various recent wines I have tasted have been bitter, which is a huge turn off). I can't remember what I paid for this, but I plan to go back and look for more. I can't see how someone would rate this at 60, unless perhaps they are accustomed to drinking $600 Burgundies. I call on the reviewer who rated this at 60 to pipe back in and explain.
