Pepperwood Pinot Noir (3.5/5)
This Pepperwood Pinot Noir was my first venture in the Pinot world. I was a little reluctant to pick one up, mostly due to the fact that it was the wine of choice for Miles in Sideways. With that said, I actually enjoyed this wine a lot.
I am constantly talking about labels and how deceptive they are but this was the best label/wine match I’ve seen to date. The class of the design of the bottle matched the taste of the wine, to a tee. This Napa Valley wine had some complex flavors, but not enough to overwhelm. There was just the right amount of a dry taste to satisfy, but again, not enough to overwhelm.
The only reason I gave this wine the rating I have is due to the fact that this is the first Pinot I’ve tasted with a critical sense. I would recommend it and have it again myself.
