WTN: Wind Bag

[Jenise]

2015 Wind Gap Wines Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
So: medium body--that's good. Raspberry-cherry fruit with lots of savory character and herbacesousness--weird for Sonoma in 2015 but hey, I'm fine with that. Finish tastes like Jolly Rancher Watermelon candy--this is not okay. I HATE JOLLY RANCHER WATERMELON CANDY.

[David M. Bueker]

I have never had a watermelon Jolly Rancher.

Disgusting. Ditto Jelly Belly's watermelon flavored bean. There's a huge disconnect between real watermelon, which I love, and fake watermelon, which I clearly don't. This wine tastes like fake watermelon. And I bought a case! Woe is me!

[David M. Bueker]

I have it. I'll try it.

[Jenise]

Not even close to anything I loved about the '13.

[David M. Bueker]

Pax was always about letting the vintage speak. He also had some vineyards that were very different from each other. The Sonoma Coast blends could change year to year based on which lots ended up in the blend.

Boy, I'm glad I didn't bring my watermelon Jolly Rancher dessert

[James Roscoe]

I like watermelon flavored jolly ranchers.

[Jenise]

Then you'll love this wine!
