Tonight..not the wine for me....I have liked several other cristoms way more than this one... Decent dark fruit , with dirt (not earth) component, and a bit of a bitter element...totally disjointed and a Pinot that I just could not enjoy... I found it almost off putting with the dirt element... I reserve the right to say I am being harsh tonight...but as it’s my only bottle I will never know...

Wines You Dream Of (Miller Gallery, Cincinnati, Ohio): Stemmy, ripe, crunchy fruit with herbal edges, lacking a bit of focus and concentration.
