Winery review: "Aroma of cherries carries through the palate with a touch of red currants and a hint of spices. It's reminiscent of a cherry cupcake with currant coulis."
My review: This was one of the more bold Pinot Noir's I've tried so far. Immediately I sensed a very strong cherry nose, followed by a bold, tangy cherry taste with hints of cranberry. Unlike others I've tried, this pinot noir didn't have a very strong finish. It seemed that most of the flavor came out at the start of the tasting. As ridiculous as it sounds, I was eating beef jerky when I tried this just as a separate snack, but it seemed to actually enhance the cherry flavors in the wine, so I would imagine that this wine would pair very well with any type of red meat.
