Mi-Pente Pinot Noir

#cvsrun2019

Aromas of red kool aid! Sort of drank like that too but in a sophisticated and pleasant way. Almost no tannin to speak of. Great little summer wine.

Dark fruit, eucalyptus and black tea.

Absolutely delicious. Strong fruit forward flavors of ripe red berries and almost some green peppers. Delicious smells of rose petals and flowers. Extremely easy to drink. 

Great fruit/mineral balance.

Blue fruit, herbal notes and tea.

Had high hopes for this based on other ratings, but it was not good. Super tangy and sharp

Fruit bomb. I would have enjoyed it more if I didn’t drink the Aiken 2013 Pinot Noir just before this one.

Not as eloquent as would have hoped

Color is more saturated than traditional Pinot noir, with shades of purple, ruby, and orange. Nice leg. Nose is nice, with ripe cherry, cherry jam, prune, oak and spice, strawberry, and some more exotic spice. Taste of nice berries note, with sweetness of grapes juice, a bit zest with medicinal flavors note, good acidity, low tannins, a bit tinkling, and some more dried strawberry and grape juice flavors. Aftertaste shows some more spice. Taste is slightly above average while nose is better. A bit too much bitter in the aftertaste.
