Last night my other half decided to play a trick on me by decanting one of my beloved Dry River Pinot Noir's for a blind tasting. My first thought was that it was too young. I hoped it might blossom over drinking time but it didn't. All I got was straw and grass with just a few tantalizing hints of the deep complex flavors I love in these wines.
Aroma: Sharp, green vines, too young.
Color: Cherry red. Dark opaque.
Body: Slow and thick with rocky peaks.
Taste: Oak polish. Tart cranberry and almond .
Cost: $45-60 by mail order.
Quality rating: no rating.
Value rating: no rating.
Final words: Too soon to be drinking it.
