Winery review: Racy cherry, cola, raspberry and strawberry fruit flavors are layered upon denser brooding flavors with spice, smoke, slight meatiness, and darker blackberry and black cherry flavors. Dark chocolate, sandalwood, violets and a slight earthiness add layers to the rich fruit. Nuances of smoke, toasted wood and baking spices linger in the finish. The wine will continue to develop in the months and years ahead. Drink now or age 5 - 9 years.
My review: I really tasted the blackberry and black cherry in this wine. A pleasant, casual drinking wine, I think it tastes full-bodied on the palate and has just the right spice and acidity as an aftertaste. I think this is a great Pinot Noir and I'd definitely drink it again!
I had this wine with snack foods and Cherry Yum Diddily Dip. The choice of foods was not ideal and it was probably bad for the taste of the wine.
