In my continued exploration of forgotten treasures that I am uncovering as we catalog items from the corners of the cellar, I bring you the 2013 Robert Mondavi PNX Pinot Noir. While the boldness of the 2103 PNX has softened with age, it is still a nice Pinot worthy of your consumption. The tannins have mellowed and the fruitiness has receded a bit, but there is still some complexity to enjoy. The palate is mutedly fruity (is that a proper wine tasting term?) with a balanced complexity. While not as elegant as 4 years ago it still offers a nice balance of fruit and some minerality. I detect notes of blackberry, plum, and a bit of smoke - but that last bit may be from the apricot crisp my wife just burnt in the oven. So pop it it open and enjoy.

Well balanced and round but no interesting notes. A bit light. Did not bring any character to Chicken Vidalia dish.
