Joseph Carr Pinot Noir [Interesting]

Joseph Carr
Pinot Noir
Sonoma, CA
2007
20.00

Complex aromatics, with ripe strawberry and floral rose petals on the nose. Bright in color, this Pinot Noir exhibits flavors of sweet black cherry, cassis, spice and hints of cinnamon. Moderate tannins give this wine body and a smooth finish.

THIS WINE IS SHROOMY DOOMY! And therefore, amazingly odd. Kind of like... nothing else I can even think of. It immediately had tastes of cherry, but overwhelmingly reminded me of mushrooms, dirt and earth. Really unique and unexpected.

I would buy it just for shock value ;) Next time, I would pair it with a flavorful meat.
