West Bend Vineyards Pinot Noir

The nose had a bit of spice and cocoa and perhaps prunes. The palate had these flavors as well as some bitter coffee notes and a bit of acidity. Frankly, this is a weird wine. I didn't care for it, although that could conceivably change with a lot of breathing. It bore no resemblance to any Pinot Noir I've had. I'm not so sure this grape is happy in North Carolina.
