2008 Forestville California Pinot Noir
12.5% alc., $3.99 (with a cork and capsule!). Sourced from Northern
California vineyards. The first finished 2008 Pinot Noir I have sampled from bottle. Can it be done for $3.99?
No way.
·
Very funky nose highly reduced with aromas of burnt match and burnt banana obscuring all fruit.
Cherry and strawberry fruits on the palate that have a roasted or burnt quality. Soft and smooth, moderate
tannins and a hint of citrus on the finish. About what you can expect at this price.
