Pinot Noir 2009
Varietal: Pinot Noir
California, USA
10.00 USD
Our Pinot Noir is elegant and medium bodied, with aromas of herbal spice and cherry. On the palate the wine gives flavors of blackberry, cinnamon, and sweet vanilla oak, and it finishes long and harmoniously. This versatile wine pairs well with lamb, chicken, veal, salmon, and light pasta dishes. (winery notes)
There were dark fruits on the nose of this pinot noir although I was not able to pick any one out from the others. There was also a bit of heat on the nose. However, there were tons of different spices mixed in that were very interesting. A little sweet and a little spicy on the nose. Again on the palate, lots of jammy fruit flavors but nothing stuck out in my mind. It was a fairly dry wine with a fair amount of heat on the end. The spices I smelled on the nose didn't come through much on the palate though.
