Thursday, May 15, 2008 - -- popped and poured --
-- tasted non-blind --

NOSE: raspberry with a moderate amount of Pinot earthy/funkiness; faintly alcoholic aromas of cherries in the background; after a couple hours, the fruits fade away, leaving very coffee-laden aromatics.

BODY: light red color with some faint bricking; moderate depth of color; fine particulate matter suspended in the wine; medium bodied; this wine was actually oily looking -- as if a drop or two of vegetable oil actually got into the wine...didn't affect the taste at all...just very off-putting, visually.

TASTE: cherry and lots of cola; hints of cedar and oak lend some structure to this Pinot; the palate is somewhat hollow moving from mid palate to rear palate; medium - long finish (30-40 secs.); drink now.

B: 50, 4, 12, 16, 7 = 89
