Alsace Pinot Noir
Alsace, France
Just a perfect accompaniment to simply roasted chicken. Soft nose has bright cherry/red berry fruitiness, and a soft, beet-like earthiness, along with subtle cracked stones. In the mouth it’s soft and nearing maturity, with soft but adequate acids and a decent amount of soft tannin. The flavors have nicely-concentrated soft cherry fruit, and some nice stony minerality. Nice length for a basic Alsace AOC wine. I like this a lot.

What happens if you make Pinot noir in Alsace. Juicy, very mild tannins, decent acidity, slightly bitter on the finish. Cranberry, Cherries, rose, apple. Second glass and it's making me want to drink the whole bottle. Probably would do well with a bit of time.
