2001 Byron Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir

[dananne]

Decanted 30 minutes before pouring. Purple color with ruby on the edges. How can I put this diplomatically . . . The nose was evocative of Wisconsin dairyland. If you've ever spent any time near dairy farms, you'll understand the nose of this wine. Getting past that, nice round cherry fruit and good texture and acidity. It was admittedly difficult to get past the nose, however. Paid $17 for it on sale at Whole Foods. Alc. 13.5%.
