WTN: Drew PinotNoir FogEater '22...(short/boring)

by TomHill » Wed Mar 06, 2024 12:57 pm

Tried this last night from my recent Drew shipment:
1. Drew PinotNoir The Fog Eater AndersonVlly (13.0%; Clow Ridge & Valenti Ranch vnyds; 70% Calera/10% Swan/5% 943/5% 667/4% Pommard/3% 828/3% Rochioli clones; 20% whole-cluster; 10% new Fr.oak; Drk: 2024-2034: JD) 2022: Med.light color; attractive bright cherry/PN strong smokey/toasty/Fr.oak bit w-c/peppery mainstream AndersonVlly PN rather pretty/fragrant nose; quite tart/tangy bright cherry/black cherry/PN/spicy slight earthy rather lightweight strong toasty/smokey/Fr.oak slight peppery/w-c bit earthy pretty flavor w/ light tangy tannins; very long bright cherry finish that follows flavor; a fairly classy AV PN but rather lightweight & lacks depth & intensity; a pretty enough PN but just that. Pricey at $50.00/$42.50
___________________________
More dicklespurt from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. A bit disappointed in the PN because it was pretty lightweight. A pretty/classic AV PN but little more. THat being said, I would not at all be surprised for this to put on weight & depth w/ a yr in the btl.
