Palate
Subtle wine influence with good sweetness and oily mouthfeel; notes of maltiness with green grape on the finish that transitions from initial purple grape notes; subtle body rounding from the lighter-bodied Pinot Noir.
Finish
Nutty oaky finish with sweet tea notes and a transition to green grape that mutes the maltiness; not overly tannic.
Overall Score
3.75 / 5
A well-crafted, fairly priced Pinot Noir-finished bourbon with subtle wine influence and interesting grape flavor transitions.
