Quite the reverse. Pinot noir is way too thin. US wines (as with most New World) are far too simple <shrug>

agreed, we find Pinot Noir a little light too in general...this doesn't seem to be available in Oz after a quick check. Would've tried it.
Like a US Chardonnay though- and this is very good if you like 'Buttery" ones. Inexpensive too.

This was an organic Syrah/Grenache picked up in St Pol de Leon. At 15% abv it was as hamfisted as the acting in the Dukes of Hazzard film we watched with the kids tonight. The label was very nice though and the film had a couple of other redeeeming features.

That is excellent, used to drink that at our favourite Italian in Bahrain.

Not a fan of “organic” - we had a couple and never again.

Conversely I've had some bloody good organic wines. Didn't buy them because they were organic, mind....
One of the best was made by some really bizarre people that used to bury cow horns full of cow **** at a full moon as it had a greater impact!
Can't recall what the belief is called, apart from slightly barking.

Indeed. I’d recommend Biodynamic Wine, Demystified by Nicolas Joly if you want to know more. It’s not all barking. If that’s a bit dry for your taste, there’s a romp of a story called Saving Our Skins by Caro Feeley. Her story about building a vineyard in France is remarkable and very well told.
One thing I love about organic and biodynamic wines is that many extremely high end vineyards have always used organic methods, but have chosen not to include that in their publicity. Apparently, the term organic limits one’s market. Anyway, to get round the weirdy beardy image, the term Natural wine is now in favour.
I find the whole process, the techniques, the history and the politics that surround the wine industry absolutely fascinating. A bit like Maserati - those in the know, know to paraphrase another thread.
If you don’t believe me, ask Jody Scheckter...

Pulled the last two bottles of this out last night in preparation for a meal with friends on Sat... Unfortunately I drank one, so may need to find by a replacement.
This particular wine brought me and the GF together after meeting through work.

Completely agree... My late father-in-law (the man who gave me all my older high-end French / Italian red wine), was a big fan of Jaboulet Rhone’s
