In southwest Michigan I am a big fan of the Domaine Berrien Cellars. Tonight I have opened the 2012 Domaine Berrien Cellars Pinot Noir. Wally Maurer does a great job as owner and winemaker.

On the nose I am getting cherry, strawberry, some good funk, caramel, sassafrass, vanilla, light oak, rose petal and earth.

On the palate there are notes of sour cherry, strawberry, cranberry, clove, cola, mushroom, some herbaceousness, light oak and dusty soil.

This wine is medium bodied with medium to plus acidity and medium to plus smooth tannin that leads into a pleasant medium to long finish. A very nice pleasing pinot from the southwest wine region of Michigan. Enjoy the rest of your week and please be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

2012 Domaine Berrien Cellars #Pinot Noir, Lake Michigan Shore. Bright and floral; red cherry, red plum and wild berry flavours intertwined with wet earth and toasted vanilla. Soft and silky finish. #wine #sommelier

Tart strawberry delight. Crisp and not too acidic like some Pinots.

This vintage is classic Pinot Noir, pretty light red color, cherry and strawberry fruit and just a touch earthy. Had to have it on National Pinot Noir Day!

Gets better as it breathes. Delicate spice aroma, balanced light fruit taste. Very good. Had the 2012.
