- Drew - 11-26-2003 Very different from past vintages. Lite and very Pinot Noir like which is what I would have guessed in a blind tasting. International in style with pleasant dark cherry and blackberry flavors, medium bodied with soft tannins, very food friendly. 13%Alc/vol. $9. Drew - wondersofwine - 11-26-2003 Oh, no! First Bucko on Pinot Noirs that resemble Syrahs and now Drew on a Syrah that resembles Pinot Noir! We may end up with Pinot Syroirs! - quijote - 11-27-2003 Well said, WOW. That would lead to some questions about "Syroir Terroir".... - Drew - 11-27-2003 LOL!

Last night I was preparing a Cranberry Chutnie that called for 1 cup of dry red wine. So I pulled out a bottle of Pepperwood Grove Pinot Noir. After making the chutnie we watched a movie and I finished off most of the bottle. (I fell asleep about half way through the movie) But I thought the Pinot Noir tasted a little more bold than what I was expecting. This morning I picked up the bottle to throw away, and noticed that I had pulled the PG 2001 Syrah by mistake. My 30 bottle wine cooler is slowly filling up. I am not used to having to look that close to what I have on hand. [This message has been edited by tandkvd (edited 11-27-2003).] - Drew - 11-27-2003 See!!!
