Au Contraire Pinot Noir 2014 Review

You are greeted with a cloud of heat that takes some time to dissipate, and never really goes away, even after the cherry cola and sugared vanilla bean come knocking. This is one of the cookie cutter Pinots that has a lack of personality but serves the purpose of: if this is the only one available while grabbing last minute for a party it’s fine. Just let some of the alcohol waft off first.
