Something to help the transition from Champagne to Cabernet.

Cobb & Hirsh Pinot Noirs are quite similar to me. Both well made, are good but have never astounded.

This 2014 is near its precipice.

The body is round & inviting. I sense a touch of tannins. Black cherries, blackberries, poached strawberries, pomegranate, just a hint of rhubarb, hovering raspberries, plum, and black raspberries. Tree sap, hints of eucalyptus, dry crushed rocks, dry twig, light clove, some nutmeg, cinnamon, and feathery vanillin, lightly grilled meats, mix of fresh and used tobacco with soft ash, old used leather, soft, black pepper, mid dark spice, sandalwood, sandstone, red, purple and dark flowers, nice acidity with a softly tensioned, nicely balanced, elegantly, soft finish that lasts 90 seconds and lands softly on mid toned spices on the long set. — 7 days ago

Smells of caramelized Pomegranate.

Medium weight, hints of saline, black rasp, pummelo acidity and feathery tannins.

Solid Rioja.

Blood & guts, tight as a button. Clocks in at 14.5% but so in balance- rather feathery & light. Should have done a brief decant. — 5 years ago

Feathery light yet firm grip and hyper-place. — 8 months ago

@Estiatorio Milos in Miami enjoying this lovely Sancerre with our Dover Sole and Branzino. This has got to be the lightest, feathery Sancerre we’ve ever had. Sancerre is my favorite for many reasons. Just a beautiful wine for any time of year but beckons you to the beach and a warm breeze. — 3 years ago

Feathery light stylistically, pushing an arbor apples and Bosc pear dressed in lemon verbena on the nose. Pithy lemon and pithy lime surround, with a chalky tartar biscuit before a headlong zest of lemon-lime races for the finish. .

Delectable - this is actually Penfolds Cellar Reserve Pinot Noir from Tasmania, not offered in your choices. Bright light to mid crimson in colour. Aromatic red fruits with a little caramel oak. A light to medium weight palate - quite delicate finishing with light feathery tannins. I have drunk many Penfolds reds over the years but very very few Pinots. With their vast resources (this is from cool climate Tasmania) and winemaking expertise they will create some fabulous Pinot Noir. — 3 years ago

Ah #morgon magic - right away aromas of red/black berry compote, a pleasantly earthy funk, iron, graphite, black tea. Medium-light body, crunchy acidity, slight feathery tannins. Such a pretty wine that paired well with vegetable/cauliflower tapas, fresh tuna ceviche, poached salmon and all the way to buffalo steak. — 3 years ago

Silky, feathery in texture. Ethereal. Sweet fruits, soft tannins, iron, strawberries, medium finish. Slight heat. Medium finish. More of a light red, as others have said, and serve accordingly. Lovely stuff. — 5 years ago
