Tasting: Castle Rock Sonoma Pinot Noir

Name: Castle Rock Sonoma Pinot Noir 2011
Variety: Pinot Noir
Region: Sonoma, California
Country: USA
Year: 2011
Price: $8.95

Winery Review: Dark ruby color. Aromas of chocolate covered berries, dates, grilled pepper, cedar, and a touch of peppered ham with a supple, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a cherry tart and dark roasted nut finish. Very tasty and well balanced.          

My Review: I was beginning to like Pinot Noir, until this wine came around. It smelled like rotten seafood and driftwood. It also tasted like seafood, salt, and grass. I got a hint of fig and plum. All of these together made it not pleasant and definitely not tasty in my opinion. 

I did not taste this wine with food.
