Pinot Noir
California
2012
$9
This wine has a deep violet color with a medium to high viscosity. On the nose I get cherries, plum, minerals, spice, vanilla, oak and leather. It is dry with very bold flavors. The taste is sharp and peppery, with a medium body. It is slightly hot and not very well rounded. The pepper lingers on the palate and ends with toasted honey and clove. When paired with various chocolates, I found that it is not suited for dessert paired, but rather more savory dishes.
