Community Tasting Note

Spicy and oaky bouquet with some cranberry and pomegranate fruit peaking through as well as a generic fresh flowers scent. Ruby core turning to burnt sienna at the edges - color is of medium-light depth, and the wine is also medium-light bodied. The palate is tart, and way too alcoholic (the 14.6% alc. is quite noticeable). Very disappointing, especially since the '05 Durell was one of our favorites while tasting at the winery. Honestly, their regular, sub-$20, 2006 Pinot is better than this horrible waste of $40. Not scored, but gut impression tells me low 80's.
