Artesa Pinot Noir Los Carneros

Great Pinot Noir! Drinking very nicely right now. Mild spice, earth, and dry fruit. Great with Turkey!

This is a good one. Great flavors and a nice finish.

Fair Pinot, high alcohol, decanted

Great bottle - The first one went down about a year ago and this second one was held for almost a year and what a difference that made! Poured a medium ruby red into the glass. This one had quite a bit of cork bleed vs. the last one. The flavor was again light with cherry and strawberry. Very alcoholic raspberry was also present, but was something that showed in the front and died in the middle. I was getting …

- Purple color with medium forming legs. It's balanced with a light/medium body. Juicy texture with a short finish.

Drinking very well. Lots of strawberry, some tart cherry, touch of oak, no tannin. Well balanced. More beaujolais than burgundy.

Excellent bottle. Decanted with Vinturi. Drank right away, very smooth medium finish. Good value

Minimum nose and palate on day 1 & 2, left it on vacuum stopper for 2 days. Day 5, finally some interesting red fruit and violet floral scent emerged. Sweet berry fruit noticeable, light tannin.

Aromas of strawberry, plum, and spice. For a pinot this wine is tannic and dry. Well balanced. The finish is of nice length, with some decent complexity.

Not my favorite varietal, bu this wine does extremely well - - - especially 24 hours after initial cork pop. The wine initially has very little lacing or stain on the cork - the cork is lightly stained like a typical pinot noir. The flavor is light, cherry, strawberry, and did I smell watermelon??? The wine pours a ruby red. The taste is all fruit forward initially, but with good spice on the tongue after 24 hours of decanting. This …

The wine looks Violet colored. The legs are Fast. It smells like Lemon, Alcohol/Hot, and Raspberry. It tastes like Stoniness, and Cranberry. The body is Light/Medium. The wine is textured Bright. The wine finishes Medium with a punch of acidity.
