Just silly delicious #alsace #pinotnoir . Credit to one of my online wine community buddies to describe this lush lingonberry aroma up front that carries right through to the palate plus a background of tart cherry juice, sous bois base notes and some long pepper sweet spice on the finish. Food pairings I can vouch for: Beyond Burger with sautéed 🍄‍🟫 - ✅, Papa Murphy’s take-and-bake veggie pizza - ✅ . #lastbottle — 3 days ago

Dried cherry and cranberry with bresaola notes, bay leaf, brown bread, peppercorn. Dried violets, black and bing cherry and dried blueberry intermingle with elderberry and plum skin.
Magnum was better on day two, showing acute complexities unrealized initially.
Great single vineyard wine with depth.

Delicious. From #languedoc area so warmer climate riper fruit. Reminiscent of Californian #pinot #pinotnoir — 6 months ago

Rose petal, black cherries dried and ripe, black plum and prune, earthy loam, blackberry violet and trumpet mushroom punctuate the bouquet. Sumptuous ripe raspberry with a meat-sweetness costs the palate seductively, settling on ripe cherry and raspberry with creative interplay of sweet tobacco and light spices. Glorious, gorgeous and variegated.

Lovely Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, hitting its peak with dried cherry nose, raspberry, roast beef, grilled pork, rose petal, roobios, graphite, dried blueberries. Rich mouthfeel showing cola nut, espresso, fruit and barrel tannic underpinnings, aforementioned roobios, lavender and roses, raisins, figs, dates, clove, peppercorn and cinnamon perfectly portioned in an intense wash of raspberry, smoky, bitter savory, nettle and an anise afterthought. Incredible wine from a serious house that always delivers their intense manifestations with grace and finesse. Rich in every sense.

Ethereal, delicate #dundeehills #pinotnoir - Dried strawberry, raspberry plus wild cherry nose with faint sous bois. Sour cherry acidity up front in mouth, medium light body and rapid finish. Satisfying but I question the QPR. Great food wine though. — 7 months ago

Marvelous QPR #willamettevalley #pinotnoir. Tart cherry, forest floor, some mushroom notes. Lovely sour cherry fruit continues on palate, imminently food friendly, elegant cuvée, silky tannins on finish. What a bargain at $13 #costcowines — 2 months ago

Classic #yamhillcarlton #pinotnoir as an after-dinner aperitif. Cherry, pomegranate molasses, some spice on finish. Yum. — 3 months ago
