Wanting to try a Pinot Noir tonight I picked up this North Coast Pinot for $19.99. Looking at the beautiful ruby red color draws me in right away. The aromas a wafting over me with beautiful red fruit of strawberry and raspberry. There is also hints of mushroom and a bit of caramel. Wonderful aromas keep me wanting to just continue breathing its nuances. On the palate you get good strawberry, tart cherry, mushroom, dusty soul with a creamy texture. There is good medium acidity and smooth tannins. This pinot is a bit on the lighter side and could use a bit more complexity. That being said, this is a very drinkable pinot that I would buy again.

Getting better with each sip. I wouldn’t classify it as a ‘classic pinot’ taste but the mouthfeel is developing as the spice gets more subdued with airing out.

Paired well with my Thanksgiving turkey. It would also be good to drink on its own
