2011 Reata Pinot Noir

Sonoma

Date: 10/19/2014

Occasion: Post BevMo trip excitement

Purchased: BevMo

Taste Profile: 92 Points, Wine Enthusiast – EDITORS CHOICE.  This shows real Sonoma Coast character in its silky texture, strong acidity and transparency of its raspberry and cherry notes, which allow for a mineral-driven taste of the soil to shine. The wine improves in the glass as it airs, picking up extra layers of complexity.

Notes: Great color and bouquet when opening. However, quite acidic at first. It took several hours to open up. Once open, very smooth; maybe too smooth.

Overall Rating (based on price/taste/experience): 5/10
