Ah yes…

I’ve had several non-noteworthy and
non-PN wines lately.

This is a welcome change.

I’m sure I picked this one out
of the Paola store offerings since
it was from MENDOCINO.

This AVA is generally good, and
generally affordable as far as PN
goes.

The wine is full of flavor
without being “pruney”.

Please note that the ALC is way
up there at 14.5%.

I had to be really careful to save
EXACTLY HALF of the bottle for day
two.

There is lots of “flowery language”
on the back label of the bottle
that tells you everything you need
to know about the wine except that…

IT CONTAINS ENOUGH ALCOHOL TO FUEL
A CAMP STOVE FOR A FORTNIGHT.

This would be a “go to” wine except
for that.

I suspect that high alcohol content
is a risk when picking a Mendocino
PN.

If I had a “buy option” I would take
one with “lower volatility”.

Hang in there.
