Le Mark West Vin De Corse Pinot Noir 2004
Have you noticed a small but very significant change on the label of your 2004 Mark West Pinot Noir?
![]() |
The wine could now be called "Le Mark West", because the latest release was sourced from the French island of Corsica*. Winemaker Alex Cose reports the grapes were gently crushed and fermented in small tanks, then pressed and aged in French oak. Tasting Notes. Color: Ruby translucent. Aromas: Smoky, lightly floral, blackberry, blueberry and black cherry. This is a smooth light bodied red on the tongue, perhaps a bit dilute by California standards. Smoky red and black fruit flavors lead to a simple light finish. Closure: Real cork. Good value ($11). |
*In August, 2005, Winewaves reviewed Mark West Central Coast Pinot Noir 2004.
*Why shouldn't Proprietor Derek Benham source wine from Corsica**? However, I Wish there was a greater distinction on the label to make it obvious the wine inside is French, not from California. I preferred the Central Coast version, thought it a bit spicier, more complex and "varietal", and thus a better value.
**Corsica is in the Mediterranean Sea between France and Italy.
