My Tasting notes
Color: very deep violet dipping into purple, yet only a bit cloudy and not opaque.
Nose: very musty and earthy. Mushrooms, hints of strawberries and blackberries with a touch of dark spice
Palate:
- Body: 3
- Acidity: 4
- Alcohol: 3
- Tannin: 3
This is a really full and food friendly pinot noir. It's definitely been oaked due to the fact that it has a decent amount of mouth filling tannins that are soft but slightly grippy. It has darker fruit flavors like blackberries with undertones of strawberry along with a bit of mint on the outside of the palate and some tobacco and earthy notes and black pepper creeping in on the finish. Seems like it would be really good with game meats or beef stews. This could become very interesting with age since it does have a good level of tannins and acidity to do so.
