- Drew - 03-24-2000 Can someone offer tasting notes on a Steele Caneros 1996 Pinot Noir? - mrdutton - 04-12-2000 I can not offer you any personal tasting notes but in September 1998 Wine Spectator gave it 87 points and said the following: An earthy yet complex style, with mushroom, dried cherry and leather notes. Shows more funk and personality than the best Steeles from 1996, but it's a challenging bottle that's fun to drink, now through 2000. (5500 cases produced) Hope this helps a little bit.......... - Drew - 04-13-2000 Thanks Mrdutton, I hope their term "challenging" doesn't mean the wine will fight me over the prospect of being drunk! Drew - mrdutton - 04-13-2000 You might have to pop a cork to find out. Seriously, the technical definition of "challenging" in this instance is beyond me.......... In any case, enjoy the wine!
