Beringers Founder's Estate 2007 Pinot Noir California

Submitted by Bob Bacchus on Sun, 2010-06-27 12:00

Drinkable, but only with a light dinner, for anything else, Nada. It's seems to be a Pinot Noir in name only.

There's little here for you to hang your hat on. It's a wine with a pale ruby color, no structure to the wine, with little nose and even less for your palate. There are some low tannins, low acidity, with a bit of harshness at the finish. Nothing seems to stand out with this wine, making me wonder if it's mislabeled.

A better choice might be: 
Hob Nob Pinot Noir 2006
Messina Hof Barrel Reserve 2008 Pinot Noir Texas
Petit Bistro 2005 Pinot Noir France
