Tasting Notes

It feels like I am turning into an old white man or something. It feels like all I want to talk about is the weather. I might get too excited about the sun and a little down when it's gloomy. I can't help myself today, though. It is gorgeous out and give me all the sun! Tonight's wine is 2018 Arlyn In Good Faith Pinot Noir There is a gorgeous dark ruby in color in the glass with a little sniffy sniff giving off passionate hints of brighter red fruit. When I mention passion, the hard work and dedication of work done in the vineyard come front and center with a silky, smooth entry and a mid-palate where the tannin structure sits in the corner of a dainty mouth feel showcasing those brighter red fruits. I am all about a finish where a tannin structure gently comes out of the corner, offering the gentlest essential kiss on the hand, making sure it doesn’t go unnoticed. Finally, the jealous fruit gets the attention needed with an extended warm goodbye hug. 👇 👇 👇 👇 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 Would you like to get a Saturday morning email to read with your coffee giving you insider tips on events, news, and an in-depth perspective on a winery?
