The Wine: 2009 Logan Pinot Noir
The Price: $16.99 at Costco
Talbott is a California winery, located in the Central Coast AVA. The winery was established in 1982 by Robb Talbott,
The Logan Pinot Noir is made from Estate Grown grapes. The bottle was stopped with a natural cork, and decanted an hour before tasting.
The wine is dark red and has aromas of strawberry, cherry and blueberry. The wine has crisp fruit flavors of tart cherry and blueberry with a peppery bite on the finish. I find it to be richer and more full bodied than is typical of California Pinots, which I normally would like. But unfortunately the flavors are too in your face, and the wine does not taste much like any Pinot Noir I've tasted. It tastes more like a Petit Verdot, but not a good Petit Verdot. This is a pretty bad wine, even overlooking the fact that it does not taste like a traditional Pinot Noir.
