Tasting - DeLoach Pinot Noir






Name: DeLoach Pinot Noir
Variety: Pinot Noir
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2009
Price: $12.95


Wine critic review: "A really nice wine, showing the generosity and sheer sexiness that Pinot Noir can offer. With a silky mouthfeel, it has expansive flavors of raspberry and cherry jam, orange zest, vanilla, cinnamon and sandalwood. One of the best Pinots on the market at this price, and easy to find, with 20,000 cases produced."

My review: From the smell of the wine I thought that I was going to enjoy it. I caught scents of strawberry, mint, and raspberries. However, I did not enjoy the taste as much as the smell. For me, the berry and dark cherry taste in this wine was not to my liking. The wine was fairly light in body and I imagine it would pair well with a salad or grilled chicken.
