2006 Red Car Amour Fou Pinot Noir

[dananne]

This cool-climate Sonoma Coast wine is supposedly highly-regarded, from respected vineyard sources (La Boheme, Zio Tony and Bartolomei), and from a reputable Sonoma Coast winery. However, it was just plain awful. I couldn't even finish a glass. Aromas of, and I apologize in advance for being somewhat gross, cheesy toe funk. Thin cherry cola flavors, delivered in more of that funk from the nose. Just terrible stuff. I will never buy another Red Car wine, and we've had pretty good luck with them in the past. I don't think it was an off bottle or bottle variation or flawed, either. I think it's just a crappy wine. Avoid it. We paid about $40. It's not worth $4. Alc. 14.2%, as if it matters. Ugh. Anne reports it being worse on the second night, as if it were possible. I'm not trying it again, so I'll have to go on her take.
