NV Chateau La Paws California Pinot Noir

13% alc., pH 3.65, TA 0.53, $12.99. Produced by Rosenblum Cellars. Profits proudly support No Kill Shelters. Aged in French and American oak barrels. Contains a small amount of Syrah (13%). · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. The nose is devoid of fruit, offering only briar and oak char aromas. Somewhat more inviting on the palate, with mid weight plus flavors of black cherry and strawberry that have a porto character and are framed by an unpleasant burnt caramel flavor. Score: 85.
