Is Pinot Noir a good wine?
What reviewers say
“3.45⭐: 85/100. En nariz resaltan bastante las notas de fruta roja, notas herbales, algunos toques florales, se percibe un punto dulce y el resto algo alcohólico...bien pero sin mucha persistencia.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Fruit forward with flavors of fresh red cherry and strawberry that are complemented by hints of rose and lavender. The light notes of molasses help lift the fruit and floral character. This Pinot Noir offers a balanced palate with a velvety mouthfeel and a subtle sweetness. The grapes for this wine were selected from premier California vineyards by our Winemaker Beth Liston. The dry and warm year of 2014 allowed just the right amount of sunlight on the berries, resulting in an ideal balance of flavor and acidity in the glass. The grapes for our Pinot Noir were harvested at optimum ripeness, leading to an early extraction of rich color and velvety tannins.
