Black pepper, spice and cherry on the elegant nose.
Soft elegant and light. Quite good. Pinot for the masses.

This wine has a light ruby color to highlight its elegant look. The nose pops of light violets and roses with strawberry and cranberry aromas playing through. In the mouth, this Pinot is as elegant as it looks. Flavors of cherry and a faint tea note are playful in this easy drinker. Semi firm tannins back up all those attributes and get to work on meat dishes from foul to feast.

Lots of candy, red fruit on the sweet side. Not great, but easy, specially for beginners.

Tonight's tasting: Pinots from around the world. Group ranked 3 of 5. Cranberry and cola. Great for the price.

Cherry and cranberry aromas. Raspberry flavors too. A bit minerally finish.

Earthy aromas of cherry and spice. Smooth flavors of raspberry and cola with long finish. Found this in the clearance bin for half price. Score!
