Mandolin
Monterey Pinot Noir
Monterey, Central Coast, California, USA
Not very good. Metallic aftertaste. Pretty carelessly made with no respect to the fruit. It's super cheap though, so it may be right for some.

Medium body. Balanced acidity. The mandolin gently weeps as the inebriant is expunged.

I would call it "pretty good." I can't remember what I paid... if it was close to $10, I would buy again. But if $20, not worth the money.

Jan 31st, 2017Thin, watery, no development or flavors. Weak bouquet. No improvement after immediate aerating or 12 hours decanting. Would not recommend.

nose shows candied cherry, some cinnamon, animal funk, spice, faint cedar and leather.
flavors of charcuterie, mushroom, black cherry, fig, cedar, earth. fruit and funk- lacking the chocolately roundness of many cali pinots.

Particularly uninteresting. Light flavor even for a Pinot noir. Looks like it was mixed with water in the glass.
