Winery Review: "Rich, fruit forward cherry flavors, soft tannins, a medium body and a smooth velvety finish. Pairs well with creamy soups, salmon, and savory pork dishes."
My Review: On the nose there was red fruits such as cherries, strawberries, and raspberries with hints of bitter dark chocolate. There was a creamy, chewy texture on the palate and tomato bisque-like tones to add to the red fruit flavors. The tannins were subtle, and there was a short, not extraordinary finish. Overall, not my favorite Pinot Noir but for ~$7 it would not make a bad choice for a casual dinner. This was not paired with food, but I think it would go well with a roma pasta or pizza.
