HotCosts Tasting NotesOur mission is to provide unbiased opinions of the wine being offered. These notes come from up to 10 guests who tasted this wine in a blind tasting format (wine is concealed so their identity is unknown). Why this format? Tasting blind completely throws out any hype associated with a certain winery, style, price point, etc; it forces the taster to accept what is in the glass without any predetermined notions.Our tasters are not wine professionals, but a cross-representation of professions where the common denominator is our love for wine. We utilize Robert Parker's Glossary of Wine Terms to help write our comments. In addition, we utilize the wine aroma wheel to enhance our ability to describe the complexity of wine flavor. Blind Tasting Notes - Tamayo Family 2006 Pinot Noir, Sleepy Hollow Vineyard - Santa Lucia Highlands
BH: Darker red in appearance, medium to high body. Pinot nose, Oak influence. Well balanced, really like it.
DJO: Velvet red in color.
MA: Cherry red in appearance with clear teardrops. Red fruit on nose and palate, with cherry being the strongest fruit. Tanins balance the acid backbone. Nice finish but could use a few more cellar years to balance out.
JH: Cherry nose! Ripe red fruit. Tanins in finish with acid to balance.
RA: Yum. |
