Well, since losing about six months of wine reviews, I have to make speed to re-review all of those wines that I tried in that time. One of the them was a Root 1 Carmenere, but since I gifted the rest of that bottle after we opened it for dinner on Saturday, I only had the Pinot Noir left.

This time around, they put it in a different bottle rather than the same bottle used for the rest of their wines.

This wine is jammy, not too jammy, but jammy still and has more aspects of a deep smoke -- you get this with the first five seconds of taste -- with a little taste of leather, but more of a new leather versus an old weather leather taste. The rest of the taste would be a black currant undercurrent.

This is a young wine, and not one that is a deep/complex taste. This reminds me more of something mass-produced rather than something crafted more by hand.
