One of the wine boggers (I think it's Rocks and Fruit...or maybe Old World Old School) was utterly slamming this producer as a New World oak and fruit bomb. I am now quite confused. If anything, it was very "restrained"-especially if one drinks a lot of California Pinot..

1) If you are referring to Rockss and Fruit then you are talking about Lyle Fass and all his recommendations must be considered alongside the fact that he loves Battery Acid Wine.
2) This is a village wine from 2004 and perhaps not the best example of Perrot-Minot's full style.
3) Neither of the bloggers probably drink very much California Pinot.
