HRM Rex Goliath! Giant 47 Pound Rooster Pinot Noir, Vin de Pays d’Oc (California, NV)

1.5 star (out of 5)

One of my friends is a “bird guy” and likes to try wines with different birds on the label. Featuring a circus poster of Rex Goliath, the 47-Pound Rooster (natch), this one seemed like a sure bet.

He picked this bottle up for a Halloween party and it actually fit the theme: this wine was pretty scary. Weak in color and watery, tasters described it as tart and vinegary. I’m not a tremendous fan of Pinot Noirs in general, and this wine did nothing to convince me. I suppose it could have been worse, but it definitely could have been much, much better. The label, though, was appealing in a carnivale-gone-crazy sort of way.
