Winery review: “Our pinot noir displays elegant notes of ripe cherries with a hint of chocolate and a smooth, velvety finish” (bottle).
Wine Folly: Pinot Noir tends to have flavors like raspberry, cherry, mushroom, vanilla, and hibiscus. It’s a pale red with a medium body, low tannins, medium-high acidity, and is dry. It’s best served just below room temperature and pairs well with salmon, duck, and mushrooms (https://winefolly.com/grapes/pinot-noir/).
My review: Holy cow the tannins are tannining in this wine. It’s almost too physically dry to taste anything. The aromas are cherries, blackberries, and raspberries. The flavors are just kinda… alcohol and dryness. I tried some with Oreo cheesecake and the creamy cheesecake held off some of the tannins to allow for a moment of cherry before intense bitterness hits. There’s a reason this wine was so cheap.
