Mendocino Pinot Noir
Mendocino, North Coast, California, USA
This is a delicious Pinot Noir from Mendocino County, California.
Showing red and black fruits with oak, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, leather, earth and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and fruity.
Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins.
Tasty and easy drinking. Elegant and rich.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. Much better after 2 hours of airtime, when tannins come in.
Well balanced with a great soft mouthfeel.
This is a Pinot Noir for the Cabernet lover.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
14.4% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$110.

Good right out of the bottle and better after 30 minutes of airtime. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.
Doesn't show like a Pinot Noir, which is fine with me. Rich and fruit forward. Interesting and intriguing.
Easy drinking with nice complexity. Sometimes, these easy drinking wines can be dangerous, so watch out 😉
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses. I gave it a light chill and had it by the pool.
A small production of only 4,500 bottles. This is bottle number 1769.
