For a pinot noir its my newest favorite. This is Aberrant Cellars Confero 2014 pinot noir from Willamette Valley. Spicy Pinot!!! WOW! I love it. It has a bouquet of blueberry pie and leather. The initial palate is pure spice and cherries developing into clove and fig. The finish comes quick and ends with a wonderful sweet finish of blueberry pie as in the very beginning. That is what I call a well rounded Pinot noir! To break it down:
Spice: 8.
Fruit: 8
Butter: 3
Oak: 2
Sweet: 5
Dry: 5

Jul 23rd, 2016Translucent magenta glass with pale pink rim. Mild nose of strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate, mushroom/earth, vanilla and oak. Thin bodied tart acid to the palate of red fruit and earth with small edgy tannins leading to a hot dry medium finish of black pepper. Structure and balance are good but lacks depth for value required of a $30 USD light food buddy.
