Intense but overdone Pinot Noir. Fruit-forward with lovely and intense cherry flavors, followed by a nasty, unpleasantly acidic finish.

Some people are raving about this wine, but I’m unimpressed.
2019 opened March 2022. Rhubarb on the nose. This wine has a smooth bodied medium tannic structure, But I’m wondering if they didn’t use American oak? — Because the tannins have that American oak terpene edge to them. That wouldn’t be bad if there were a more intense range of taste components to balance that edginess — but the front isn’t very fruity (a hint of unripe cherries) — the mid-palate is pure oak — and it has a short finish consisting of a few bitter high notes. Bleh.
