Wednesday, April 24, 2024 - Not so good. Last time we ran across this Pinot was the 2010 vintage, and we tried to be diplomatic about what we discovered. This 2022 seems to have mostly the same characteristics, so we are assuming this is their desired style. We did review on day one, just to give Mother Nature a chance to bring some overnight air help. Just barely. It is really very thin. There is violets and crushed raspberries and plum, but not a lot. The color is a gorgeous magenta that light even for a Pinot. Not quite medium bodied. There is some tart cherry skin, black and maraschino cherry. It is really soft and kind of shy. But, the problem to me is just raw acid and tannins that kind of overpower everything. By day 2 the expanding marischino cherry is joined by some tangerine and considerably less influence from the raw stuff.
