Blackstone Winery: 2007 Pinot Noir – 7.3
For its price, this bottle contains more interesting complications than I am capable of harnessing in the limited space provided. Despite the cloudy threads that crisscross this vintage, Blackstone sends out some supremely positive vibes. The first two glasses stand out as impressive tangents that skillfully mediate the rest of the bottle’s oldtime tannins.
Drinking this wine is not unlike taking a lazy, yet unpredictable river jaunt with Dennis Hopper’s character in Apocalypse Now.
