2022 Mark West Pinot Noir California

Bottle weight 397 g. Fermented in stainless steel then aged for four to six months in oak barrels. Winemakers Ashleigh Riccho and Margeaux Silva. RS 8.1 g/l. 500 stores. Mid-transparent crimson. Some sweet, spicy oak on the nose. The wine is pretty sweet but is much fresher and thinner (maybe no bad thing) than some equivalent Chilean Central Valley Pinots. It’s a fair copy of some Russian River Pinots, plus sugar which I see is over 8 g/l! (JR)
