What reviewers say
“Diep paars van kleur, gemiddelde geur intensiteit met tonen van rood fruit, kers. Droog, hoog in zuren en gemiddelde tannines. Sterke smaakintensiteit met aroma’s van eiken, vanille, rood fruit, kers, bosbessen en peper. Volle body en lange afdronk met frissen zuren en een beetje kruiden. Goede complexiteit met redelijk veel laagjes, lengte is goed en wederom verschillende lagen. Balans en intensiteit zijn ook goed. Een voortreffelijke Pinot Noir uit Californië.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Shadow Point Pinot Noir is an American red from Monterey.
The calibrated figure is built from 98 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 98 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. The cohort it is ranked inside holds 1,156 American reds.
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 Shadow Point 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 98.
