Averaen Pinot Noir 2016

2018-06-27 Averaen PN 2016.jpg

Since I get so bored
making these mindlessly
dull notes about boring
wine, I was going to
skip the notes on this
pick of the litter.

But, but, but,,,

This wine is SO GOOD.

If I was tired of it
I might shut up.

If the wine was nothing
less than Mmmmmmmmmmmm,
I might not ever buy it
again.

But I keep buying it,
and continue to be seduced.

Today I’m noticing that
the wine label DOES NOT
contain information about
inbred family member’s
love of knotty fence posts,
but rather contains some
PERTINENT INFORMATION
ABOUT THE WINE.

I’m pretty sure that
highly paid winemakers
marry outside
of their clan.

At the risk of
repeating myself,
this one is
“rich” without
ANY of the
defective baggage.

Not too hot.

Not too oaky.

Not too acidic.

Not too tannic.

Not too pruney.

What are the odds
of a winemaker making
a rich PN WITHOUT
delivering one of
these “faults”?

I DON’T KNOW.

I’m an option trader
Jim, not a statistics
professor.

I don’t have a PRECISE
idea what PH THIS or
TA THAT means but it is
nice to know that the
winemaker does not have
brain damage.

We should all
have goofy cousins.
