I find the white vs. red results shocking, I’ll need reproduce the same wine tasting at home. Having said that they used botabox for all their white vs red, and bota box indexes on the sweeter side + normalizes flavors —- I can see how that blurs the lines. I can also see how choosing oddball wines would make it difficult for example: Willamette valley pinot noirs don’t register for me as a pinot. Go ahead and try for yourself: buy the willamette vs. sonoma pinot noir from la crema: the sonoma oozes pinot while the willamette I would categorize as a cab.

Yeah I'll try too out of curiosity, I could see how one could mistake a pinot for a cab or really any one grape for another, since winemaking/climate/soil can make a lot of difference. I would try that but I'm in Europe so I don't have easy access to American wines, but I think I know what tou mean!
