What to Expect

Pinot Noir: Responsible for some of the greatest wines on earth - the exhausted red wines of France's Burgundy region. Pinot Noir is a notoriously fickle grape that expresses its origins like no other. It's a vine that needs to struggle to produce great wines but when it does the depth of flavors that range from cherry to cola can be explosive and the wines' bright acidity and gentle tannins make them approachable and widely appealing,

Rather oaky on the nose with candied medicinal tones and notes of roasted root vegetables that are earthy and sweet. This pulls itself together well adding a dried porcini tone and notes of cigar smoke. Moderately rich and soft on the palate this has some angular tannins on the mid-palate that add texture to the juicy, somewhat matte black raspberry toned fruits. The finish gains a green, herbal topnote that creates some separation between the ripe fruit and soft texture allowing this to gain some volume in the mouth. A bit chunky but with a good flavor profile and nice structure. 87pts

Wine Tasting NotesA pale, mahogany colored wine with bold, lively fruit aromas. Medium acidity, supple tannins and round structure all combine deliciously with floral flavors to create a suave, fine wine.

Smooth and Rounded Wine - not impressed with structure or body - kind of boring - but easy to drink. Bought for around $11.00.

Soft red fruit, smooth texture, and an unusual, highly appealing sweet/savoury character to which I frustratingly cannot put a name. Suggestions please.
