Tyrrell's

Tyrrell's Old Winery (5.5/10)
Pinot Noir, 1999
Hunter Valley
$12.99

A softer style of red wine with complex "gamey" fruit flavours and a fleshy fruit palate texture.

I found this a fairly non-descript pinot noir. It was certainly drinkable, but not outstanding.

Deb picked up the wine because of the description -- fruity and full-bodied, with a coffee after-kick. Kevin opened it for the Thanksgiving dinner, and described it was too overpowering for the turkey, but definitely one to buy again. He didn't notice the coffee overtones, but enjoyed the fruity taste.
