Wednesday Wine Committee hosted by Dan. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. Tasted blind as usual.

Very ripe and juicy. It totally reminded me of a field blend from Carlisle. Reigns it in before going full blown VA style. Surprised this was Kistler Pinot. Squeezed strawberries, raspberries and blackberries in a glass with Mexican vanilla and a touch of cedar. Zero acidity. Drink up.

My memory has the standard Pinot being better. I recall just loving the deep, rich and what I recall as forest floor. Not getting it here. Nice and people liking it but not meeting my expectations.

Bummer!!!! Something is off big time. No tca, just flat and tannic.

かなり、美味いが、後味の苦味が個人的には気になり、高評価とはならず。
