- Basic info: Machine Breaker “The Innocents” Pinot Noir, Eloa-Amity Hills, Oregon – 2012
- Type: Red
- Price estimate: $45
- Look: Opaque ruby in color turning to rose at the edges
- Smell: Tiny bit of cherry, some mineralogy and a touch of blackberry
- Taste: Soft. Slightly sour cherry, some bramble and stone fruit. Medium finish with peach pit and a nice tart taste.
- Conclusions: This was okay. Both Bob and I liked it, but it didn’t live up to the description or the reviews. I liked the wine just fine, but it wasn’t phenomenal.
- Other notes: We opened this bottle to celebrate me new job and I kind of wish I had picked a different bottle. It is definitely a well structured wine, but it wasn’t really to my taste. A little too sour and maybe a touch too much wood to be truly enjoyable.
- From the bottle: I completely forgot to look at the back of the bottle on this one. 13.5% alcohol by volume.
