Charles Krug Peter Mondavi Family Carneros Pinot Noir 2019 Review
I’m not sure this is a wine you would take to a dinner party or a wine club. But it would work for a casual event where wine is not the focus. For a Pinot Noir, the alcohol is very high and takes away from any subtlety. It smells like vanilla and stewed fruit.
