Frank Family Vineyards Pinot Noir 2017 Review
Pinot Noir's power is in its subtlety, which is lost here. There are some notes and vanilla that has been thinned out by either the selected yeast strains or heavy filtration. Pinot Noir, but does not go beyond that. This wine is best served at social gathering that is not focusing on wine, or chilled down heavily and sipped at a cookout.
