14 of us Pinotphiles gathered tonight for a blind tasting of 2009 Pinot Noirs from any place in the world. This was a real mixed bag of wines A lot of nibblies to keep us going. There was one bad wine in the group but a duplicate was brought. One bad , one good. The luck of the draw . It was the 2009 Huber Estate. I had bought a case of this wine and they were all good.
Tasting notes were kept and at the end we compared our notes top the revealed wines. I brought two wines. The 2009 Sequana Russian River was a disappointment. I expected more. Have two more bottles so maybe I will not open them for a few years and hope they improve. My other wine was a 2009 Lucia, Santa Lucia Highlands. One of the better wines tasted tonight. Unfortunately it was my only bottle.
Everyone had a different opinion on most of the wine.
