Beringer Founders Estate Pinot NoirYep… OK.  That about sums up my opinion of this wine.  Give another point to the naysayers.

The Beringer Founders’ Estate Pinot Noir 2004 from California is a fairly simple example of pinot noir, but nothing special.  I couldn’t get much off the nose other than alchohol and a hint of strawberry.  Flavorwise it has black cherries, plum and light pepper.  Short finish.  Not terribly complex, but decent.  I gave it an 83.

If you’re looking for a decent $10 pinot noir, this will work.  You’ll enjoy it, but you won’t be blown away.  I, however, will keep searching.  I know the ultimate value pinot is out there somewhere… just waiting for me to drink it.
