Earthy aromas of dried herbs, forest floor and freshly felled fennel shrubs emerge. Warm cherries and tart acidity make for a nice blend of fruit and complexity on the palate.

Smelled buttery and caramel, did not get a lot of fruit, taste of rhubarb, spices, caramel, oaky. I enjoyed it a lot. Not a favorite of my class though! Heinens Pinot Noir class.

This white wine has a hint of pear on the nose. Very light on the tongue! The taste on the pallete were congruent with the smells!!

Not bad, but not great... For $14 a bottle not a bad Pinot Noir. Seems fairly food friendly. About what I would expect from a cheap bottle of Pinot...
