Tasting- Grand Cru Pinot Noir

Name: Grand Cru Pinot Noir
Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2014
Price: $5.95

Winery Review: This ruby-colored wine has aromas of raspberry, cherry and a hint of vanilla. Flavors of cherry and plum lead to a soft velvety finish. This wine can be enjoyed by itself. It is also an excellent accompaniment with appetizers and main courses. This wine goes well with Brie, goat cheese and smoked salmon, lamb shanks and pork tenderloin.

My Review: This red wine was very dry, thin and smooth. It had hints of berry though I could not depict which ones exactly. If you are someone who liked whites this would be a nice transition for you into reds. Very light, refreshing, and crisp which is similar to a white wine but moves away from the floral flavors into fruity berries.

Paired with food: No, but look at the winery review for suggestions to experiment with!
