Tasting Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2014


Name: Grand Cru Pinot Noir
Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Region: Sonoma, CA
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: I always love Pinot Noir and this one was no exception. Delicious scents of sweet jammy strawberry and blackberry. Hint of smoke. Upon tasting, tannins were mouth puckering in this very dry younger wine. The berries of the jam were evident mixed with black pepper.
 
I tasted this on its own with no food.
