2 OUT OF 5 STARS

Okay, this isn't my favorite Pinot. The hue shifts towards the purple side a bit too far for a Pinot, which to me indicated it was going to be a bit sweet. It is. The nose is also sweet. Quite fruity. The first thing that comes to mind is cherry. Tons of it. The cherry flavor is very, very strong. Surprisingly so, and terribly overwhelming. Too sweet. Hob Nob needs to figure out how to tone this down a bit. Dial down on the fruit in this case I say.

On the plus side, there's no bitter aftertaste. No tannins what-so-ever that I can identify. Not too thick either. The legs are just right. It's really too bad this concoction is so sweet. This could be a good wine. The roots are there. If Hob Nob would just cut back the vines a bit...
