Today I stopped by my store of choice with no intention of buying anything, just to look for ideas. When I saw this Pinot and it's label I said I guess I will breakdown a try this tonight. The aromas are a wonderful violet floral notes , some menthol, really nice red fruit, red raspberries and black cherries. I couldn't wait to get into this. This is a very well balanced Pinot with bright acidity and smooth tannins with a great mouth feel. There is also some good spice and hints of minerality. Not knowing anything about this wine until I got home and I Looked it up. I had no idea it was a Joseph Phelps wine. What a wonderful surprise and only cost me $27 bones. I am going back for moe!
