Surprisingly interesting Lodi zin. Less fruit up front, more complexity in the middle and back. Smooth with lots of caramel and raisin in the middle some vanilla on the back. Pleasant and balanced all around. — 12 years ago

Today I am trying another pinot noir from Chile. This one is from the Maipo Valley region in Chile and higher in the foot hills of the Andes Mountains. This is the 2012 Espino Pinot Noir from William Fevre, known for their Chablis from Burgundy. I really like this pinot noir. on the nose I receive red raspberries, nice earthy notes and some herbal essence. on the palate I can get sour cherry, sour plum, red raspberry, smooth tannin, medium acidity with a clean fresh finish. A real nice example of Pinot Noir for Chile. I bought this for $14.99. — 11 years ago

Pinot Meunier is my favourite grape variety. For the new world- I love it so much more than its Noir sibling. It says- hi! I have depth- but I don't take myself seriously. I really like stems and I smell of sweet wet leaves crunching under foot. Yes. Yes.... And yes. Happy Thanksgiving! — 14 years ago

WOW. Tastes like waking up from a dream about being rich only to find yourself sleeping in a king size bed, wrapped in silk sheets at the edge of Mt. Etna. Then it hits you...you are actually rich and you can buy a case of this wine. — 11 years ago
