Pinot Noir, slightly acidic smoother after it breathes.

Visiting my daughter in California recently, we had dinner in a restaurant and I saw a Robert Stemmler Pinot on the list, and could not resist ordering a bottle since you can’t find these back East! Ruby with a rich nose of red and black berries, oak and herb spice. On the palate blackberry and strawberry flavors, complex oak and cinnamon spice. Very soft texture, lighter body than expected, medium length ending with earthiness and mineral tones. Good to drink now!

Very nice Pinot, but probably on the tail end of its drinking window.

This wine had a nice balance of freshness and aged character, and had a lot going on. Pretty fierce initial attack on the palate, which softened quickly and gave way to the dried fruit notes that come with age. Very enjoyable.

Spicy, more metallic than gummy, attacks forte and no piano to be found on any notes, very STRONG wine

Would not have pegged it for a PN. Good sipping wine that doesn't need food. Kind of Syrah- like I thought. Wish I reviewed this when I drank it.

Pinot noir - complex with "smoky" undertones. Fabulous.
