Previously available for $16.⁰⁰

Quite aromatic with spice and herb base notes under juniper edged wild blueberry and black cherry fruit. Smooth and ever so slightly chewy on entry, this packs in a fair amount of richness without feeling weighty in the mouth. There are some early nutty elements to the flavor profile here, then this turns into a bit of a fruit bomb with bold cherry and blueberry fruit flavors wrapped in creamy, butterscotch oak flavors that show some sweetness. The finish is more blueberry flavored and fairly long with the acidity riding the fruit to the very end. This is a little fruity for my palate but people are going to love this. 88pts

1042430BrugmanRose Gregory, you did a very nice job on locating and tasting these Pinot Noirs. I see many of them in my local stores and just can not conclude from the labels what I am suppose to expect from each individual wine. Your analysis has been helpful in guiding me to what I would like.
