* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A little sharp and ringing on the nose, with pine and citrus keeping it ultra fresh. The palate is mildly aggressive and zesty, with herbal raspberry and cherry flavors. With light oak and acidity kicking all the way to the end, this shows the crisp side of Pinot Noir.

Herbal aromas infiltrate the nose, and the palate features midlevel red fruit with a strong herbal edge. The finish shows saline, chocolate and pepper, and never does it rise much above struggling.

Heavy hayfield aromas are oxidized, and the flavors of almond peel, citrus pith and baked banana do nothing to impress. Not a fresh or healthy wine, if it ever was. Past its prime.

Big and spicy at first, and then vegetal, lesser characteristics seep in and take over. The palate has baked black fruit and a finish of bitter chocolate and pepper, but also some rooty, bark-like issues. There’s no point of focus to this wine.

Way too much banana, mango and sugar. Not a prime-time player.

Heavy on the nose, with a strong scent of mineral and vitamins. Soft in the mouth, with a round texture but little flavor backing it up. Registers more vapid than anything. Imported by Hand Picked Selections.

Waxy and oily, with flavors of orange and other citrus fruits. The feel is kind of flat and heavy, with chunky melon on the finish. Imported by Hand Picked Selections.

Aromas of jammy fruit mix with smoky bacon, and the whole is inviting. The palate maintains a soft, simple character, while the finish pours on toasty oak notes. Quite meaty and chewy, without much overt acidity. Imported by Hand Picked Selections.

Starts out exotic, with clove and other spice notes. The palate is somewhat racy, with crisp acids pushing juicy black fruit. On the edges you’ll find oaky, spicy notes. Finishes peppery and snappy, with some length. Imported by Hand Picked Selections.

An entirely different breed. The nose hints strongly at bacon and spice, but it also weaves in subtle red-fruit notes. Out of the ordinary on the palate, too, where cherry flavors are light but savory. A touch odd and slick, but good because it’s not standard.
