The House Caneros Pinot Noir
Carneros, North Coast, California, USA
This is a very nice and easy drinking Pinot Noir from Carneros.
Showing red and black fruits with oak, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, chocolates, coffee and peppercorn.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate, soft and smooth. Fruit forward and fresh.
Good right out of the bottle and good by itself or with food. I gave it a light chill and paired it with light appetizers.
13.8% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$25.

Reddish in color with light intensity.
Fruity nose with bramble, bing cherries, strawberries, raspberries, light oak, light licorice, vegetables, earth, herbs, light barnyard, black pepper and spices.
Light to medium in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with cherries, strawberries, earth, oak, light vanilla, tobacco, vegetables, black tea, spices and black pepper.
Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is an easy drinking Pinot Noir from Napa Valley. Tangy and spicy with lots of fresh red fruits and earth notes, that make it interesting.
Good by itself and better with food. A good every day wine, fresh and juicy.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime.
Would be interesting to try it in a couple of years and see how it evolves.
I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses. Great with the prosciutto.
100% Pinot Noir grapes were aged for 3 months in French Oak barrels. Unfiltered

I normally love Pinots, but this one’s so subtle and balanced that it’s almost underwhelming. Peppery and dry, with notes of dry fruit.
