Landmark Pinot Noir
This pinot hits the tongue with quite a bit of toughness, with layers of allspice and clove muscling out the fruit that feels like it must be hiding out somewhere, albeit pretty far beneath the surface. Chewy and brambly, the wine never really arrives on the palate, culminating in a somewhat doughy, earthy experience that somehow completely misses out on providing the cherry- and cola-laden delights that Landmark’s pinots typically provide. The finish is particularly green, unripe, and scattered.
