Calmere Estate Winery Pinot Noir, 2016 Review

I’m like, 15% alcohol? Really? Wine’s like, yeah. I’m like, I don’t get it on the nose or palate. Wine’s like, I know. I’m like, damn. This is such a balanced and powerful Pinot Noir. The nose is earthy and bright, with the aroma of red berry fruit and a forest in October. It grips your palate, but doesn’t overwhelm. I’m like, if there’s a Pinot Noir out there for a big ol’ steak, this is it. Wine’s like, bring it on.
