Peter Cellars 2011 Carneros Estate Pinot Noir (Carneros)

Pinot Noir · Peter Cellars

Carneros

Quality

A 0–100 expert rating: 80–84 good, 85–89 very good, 90–94 excellent, 95–100 classic. Higher means a more highly regarded wine.

80/100Good

This wine is flawed, with rustic leathery undertones that veer into Band-Aid, and an intensely sour note. Multiple bottles tried over several months.

Flavor profile
