| Tasted by dfeiner on 8/1/2009 & rated 87 points: Subdued nose with a bit of raspberry coming through, a bit thin on the mouth feel. Some of that berry, a bit of smoke and some brown sugar flavors. We've got it in the decanter and hope it will develop a bit more substance. It didn't really although it was pleasant and easy to drink. (197 views) | |

| About red wine
Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia) Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
