Tasting profile
A bold, full-flavored Sonoma Coast Pinot that drinks smooth and balanced, with deep jammy cherry and blackberry leading into cocoa, licorice, anise, and baking spices. Reviewers note vanilla, plum, smoke, and forest floor on the nose, a syrupy mouthfeel with lingering finish, and benefit from decanting.
Synthesized from 95Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“Excellent Sonoma coast Pinot. Needed some breathing time but once it was decanted and sat for awhile excellent match with pork tenderloin with a chimichurri sauce.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Its depth and richness as soon as it hits the glass. Round and seductive in the mouth, the velvety textures of this wine unfold to reveal a core of cherry, raspberry, and blueberry which sing in harmony with the spice and savory notes that add an extra layer of complexity to this blockbuster Pinot Noir.
Addax Pinot Noir is an American red from Sonoma Coast.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,155 other reds from the United States, not against the corpus as a whole. 95 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 98 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Addax Pinot Noir lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · United States (1,156 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 95.
