Alamos Seleccion Pinot Noir 2007 - $11



David: From Argentina. Ruby red in color. Fairly dark for a pinot. Nose has sulfury smoke and red fruit. Tart candied cherry and strawberry on the plate has a residual sweetness. Round tannins and a long tingly, spicy finish. Overall, the wine seems complex (if not deep) but not very well integrated. Kind of all over the place. Sweet, then acidic, then tannic, then spicy. Too much of everything. Not good.
Score 2.9/5

Jessica: Darker hue than I expected from a pinot. A surprising peppery spice nose. Layered with a long finish. Mild fruits but stronger on a bitter, pepper and spice end than I expected from a pinot. Balanced tannins. Full bodied and tart.
Score: 3.7/5
