1 person found it helpfulMar 8th, 2014Wine in appearance was a light ruby. On the nose, there was a medium intensity of cherry and vanilla, but other scents seemed to be muddled in. On the palate, there was medium tannins, but harsh in structure. The body was medium, the acidity medium, the finish was very short. There was a lot of herbaceous and green flavors signifying a possible early harvest. The balance was lacking, the length was short, and there was some features that were distinguishable. but It left much more to desire. Overall an acceptable wine.

Dec 6th, 2022Another fab wine during tasting. A little smoky, spicy, cherry notes and the tannin is so balanced that can hardly taste it. Has great depth

Aug 7th, 2021Good density of red fruits/black cherries. Earthiness, spice, and cedar. Some tertiary notes starting to show - fruit leather and tobacco. Bright acidity and medium structure. Enjoyed outside on a beautiful 65+ degree night in Asheville!

May 14th, 2021Enjoyable #centralotago #pinotnoir on the day it was opened. Cherry, raspberry, some delicate spice, tea notes with some tartness that paired well with Moroccan Tagine-style chicken. 3 days later and itβs showing its 6 years of age all at once, bricking in the glass and oxidation on the nose. Decent QPR for immediate consumption. ~$14 at Costco.

Apr 8th, 2021Good balance & mouth feel in this offering. Tannins mild upon first glasses & grip develops with breathing.
Front Cherry cough syrup, some blackberry hilites with graphite & toasted french oak. Pleasant worth more exploration ππ·
