Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
SECRET CELLARS |
Medium deep red colour. Attractive, fairly intense, ripe plum-black cherry puree nose with some gentle cedary notes. Fairly dry, medium bodied, well structured, harmonious, intense, ripe plum-cherry puree flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid, smooth finish. This crowd-pleaser has 13.5% alcohol and 5 g/L residual sugar with lot number L.16.245 on the lower part of the glass bottle. TONY ASPLER / 92-points / BEST BUY - Cedary, spicy, raspberry bouquet; medium-bodied, elegant, beautifully balanced, lovely mouth-feel and drinking beautifully now. A classy, harmonious, ready-to-drink California Pinot Noir at a decent price - don't miss this one. |

TASTING NOTE: Ruby black color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate cherries and graham crackers, berry pie, and praline with a satiny, tangy, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a smooth, interesting, medium-long creme brulee, delicate spice, and yams and beets finish with light oak. A finely balanced fruity, savory pinot noir. Exceptional. Score - 91 (tastings.com, Sept. 16, 2016) |
