@Delectable Wine - This is the Methven “Stinger” Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir. I love the nose. Earthy, moist humus and forest underbrush, loads of cracked stone minerality, with oozy dark cherry fruit in the backseat. In the mouth it’s a tad on the severe side. Lean, with good acids, but somewhat aggressive tannins. Flavorwise, it’s lots of stony minerality overshadowing the PN fruit. Reminds me a little of a village Aloxe or NSG.

Waited just a hair too long to drink. Even so, very nice Pinot.

A Pinot favorite of mine! Dark red fruits, and a touch of earthiness.
