Vampire
Pinot Noir
2008
NAPA, California
10 USD
Appearance: Red brick, with a touch of ruby along the rim.
Nose: Dank cigar, wet cardboard, and only a hint of red cherry
Palate: Poor connection between earth notes and red cherries. Only minimal fruit characteristics muffled by bland wet leaves compost to it.
Finish: its short sweet and your glad it’s finished.
Overall: I would suspect this wine was corked but sadley this is not the first time I have had it. I have a case of this shit, and try one every so often to see if by some strange chance that the first 6 where corked. Likely? No, but what can you do. I think it’s a play on the popularity of Vampires these days. I’m not bashing Twilight, I watch the movies, and may have even read a book or two. Terrible wine, avoid at all costs.
