Critic review: Exquisite Pinot Noir! I admit I purchased this one because of the name. It is incredibly smooth on the palate with warm notes of dark chocolate and dark cherry. really enjoyable it's own, with a beautiful thick steak, or a rich and creamy tomato heavy pasta. Just lovely! - Hattie Presnell (4/28/2022)
Wine Folly: pg 150 Pinot Noir in general: I believe this pinot noir has more body and tannins than other light-bodied pinots. Also, I didn't think this pinot was as acidic as wine folly portrays pinots to be. I get the cherry, I would even say black cherry, and some of the clove. The wine was not decanted for the recommended 30 minutes and also was not aged for the 5-15 years. pg 288 CA Pinot Noir: I agree with the bolder, more fruit-forward description in this section.
My review: I liked this wine! The smell was very velvety and promised dark cherry flavors, and the taste delivered! This wine was surprisingly more on the dry side, which I also liked. With me attempting to put more descriptors onto what I'm tasting, I was thinking about what kind of spice I detected. Finally, it hit me, I got a glove finish! Very good wine.
I did not pair this with any food, but my friend Cooper joined me for the wine tasting. Here is a very casual picture of me and the wine:
