					<description><![CDATA[Thanksgiving is the great American gastronomic holiday. Halloween is for foolishness, costumes, and candy. Christmas is for worship, family, and unseemly lust for gaudily wrapped material goods (somewhat antithetical to the Christian origin of the holiday). Thanksgiving is the quintessential harvest feast. Turkey and ham and cranberry sauce and corn on the cob and cornbread <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/thanksgiving-pinot-noir-11-20-2024/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Many great wines are blends. Red Bordeaux is a blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and a smattering of other reds. Southern Rhône GSM wines are grenache, syrah, mourvèdre blends. In whites, sauvignon blanc and semillon enjoy a classic marriage. When it comes to chardonnay and pinot noir, not nearly so much. In Burgundy, pinot noir <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/pinot-noir-chardonnay-blends-8-31-2022/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Lovely ruby color with translucence; cherry, raspberry, strawberry on the nose; dark cherry, cranberry, raspberry, plum, licorice, cola on the palate. This is re-visit of vintage tasted early this summer. Notes are similar and positive. Medium-full body; very smooth texture. Tasty fruit that avoids distracting over-ripe robustness found in some Russian River Valley pinots.

Complexity, depth, fruit-forward; brown sugar on the finish—this was aged in 100% French oak, one-third new, one-third second use, one-third third use. Fine tannins, medium-full body, good mouth texture, good acidity for a pinot noir <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/macmurray-estate-vineyards-russian-river-valley-reserve-pinot-noir-2014/">Read More</a>]]></description>

Ripe, reserved fruit expressions; reserved oak, light tannin. Malolactic fermentation in French oak and bright acidity make this extraordinarily easy in the mouth, balanced, food friendly.

Rich with nice depth and body; somewhat aggressive tannins and toasty oak (12 months in French wood); good balancing acidity. Very drinkable and approachable, delivers the bigness of a Napa-Carneros pinot noir.

Fairly restrained California-style pinot. Medium body, round tannins, balancing acidity, smooth midpalate that evolves into spice, cinnamon, redcurrant, dollop of chocolate on the fairly long finish.

					<description><![CDATA[Science shocker: pinot grapes are an army of clones. According to DNA, pinot noir/nero, pinot gris/grigio, pinot blanc/bianco and many more pinots are mutations of the exact same grape. Members of the pinot parade share the same trait—berries grow tightly together and form a pine cone (“pinot”) shape. After that it gets complicated.

Medium-light body, low acidity, low tannin, somewhat subdued fruit; balance and harmony within the limited range of flavors. This is very serviceable, simple pinot noir that avoids the over-extracted commodity California pinot noir pitfalls in similar price range, but <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/astoria-caranto-pinot-noir-delle-venezie-igt-2015/">Read More</a>]]></description>

Rich, rustic, soft oak, dusty tannin, sour cherry on the finish. Competes well in the value-price pinot noir realm (Mark West, Meiomi)—which in my estimation means it is serviceable red wine, but does not approach the etherial delights <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/vina-apaltagua-reserva-pinot-noir-2014/">Read More</a>]]></description>
