Shop review: Ever-elusive, our Central Coast Pinot Noir offeres cherry and dark wild raspberry in both the bouquet and taste. I also fund aromatic violets, tea, strawberry seed, and hints of mushroom. The wine shows very good structure with balanced, yet approachable tannin.
My review: I was so excited to try this wine because I usually always like pinot noirs and this one was actually a pretty expensive one (for my college wallet) but I was so disappointed! I usually like pinot noirs because they are so easy to drink, but this was not at all. It was almost thick in my mouth and the smell was really offensive. It was very woody and earthy to me as well. I could smell and taste raspberries which I don't like so that could be part of it. I'm not 100% positive on what tannins taste like but I think they were really in your face for this wine, even though the review says that they were "approchable." No thanks.
Food: no food
