Abbott Claim Pinot Noir

This is drinking beautifully at the moment. Nose is showing cola and intense cherry sap, along with moist underbrush and gravelly scents. Some sweet graham cracker spice. Velvety textured, it shows more stony minerality on the palate than the nose, but with nicely concentrated, crisp, ripe cherry fruit as well. Terrific wine.

Warm and a bit spicy with red fruits and a fleshy texture. Good with both Thanksgiving leftovers and black beans and rice. This is not very complex but not overblown either.

Smells of blackberry bramble - a classic nose, notifies me this will be a good Pinot.

Alpine strawberry, lingonberry, a hint of coriander and tangelo zest. Light to medium bodied, a fully expressive Pinot that roars about what it is is, and purrs when you notice.

Cherry, raspberry, strawberry, currant, vanilla and oak. Good structure and soft tannins.

Excellent! Drinking amazing right now.

I really like this wine, but can’t put my finger on why.

Gorgeous wine! Just gorgeous.
Also went well with steak too!

Perfection in a bottle

Solid everyday pinot for Thurwednesday 😂 evening. Not terribly complex with a curious tart quality that is unusual yet not at all unpleasant.

Red fruit. Simple.
