Tasting - Canyon Road Pinot Noir

Name: Canyon Road Pinot Noir

Variety: Pinot Noir

Region: California

Country: USA

Year: 2010

Price: $7 (sale)

Vintage Cellar 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: I actually liked this Pinot Noir a little bit. Not as full bodied as some that I've had, but a nice Pinot Noir if your looking for a light red wine to go with food. I noticed strong aromas of blackcherry, blackberry, and other dark fruits and a bit of oak on the nose. On the taste, I took away themes of light acidity, light body, oak, pepper, and dryness. It's a decent Pinot Noir for the price and I think it would go well with skillet-cooked pork chops in a light cream sauce and maybe sauteed vegetables in a light buttery sauce. 

I had this wine without food.
