Grayson Cellars Pinot Noir 2007 - $12



Light, brick red in color with a tint of orange. Nose is subtle with red fruit. A burgundy styled pinot. Light in body. Flavors of raspberry and sweet red cherry are subdued but the wine is tart with acidity and the tartness lingers in a long finish. At first, the wine seemed watery and bland as I am used to more fruity and bold wines. At worst, it seemed thin and vinegary. However it seems to improve and by the end I seemed to enjoy it a good deal and want more.
Score 3.5/5

Jessica: At first sip, my palate was amazed by how underwhelmed it was by this wine. It almost fell flat, but further tasting did reveal more complexity and worthiness. This wine was an orange-red color and very soft. I almost thought watery. But the fruits were nice and I was able to appreciate the softness of this wine. A subtle juiciness of red fruits, not too sweet, not too bitter. In the end, it was pleasant enough.
3.8/5
