Crosspoint Pinot Noir 2004 Sample tasting
The expected retail price is 1800 yen.
This is a Pinot Noir from Monterey in California. Crosspoint is one of the brand of J.Lohr, the producer of Painter Bridge.
Oh ! it was really wonderful Pinot Noir, wasn't it. Very tasty ! I thought this is a typical style of California Pinot Noir, rich, full-bodied, having a lot of fruits flavor. The taste was also very elegant, very complex and easy to drink. The style was just my preference. The price I was offered is super reasonable. I decided to buy this as soon as I drank up the bottle.
