Tasting - Grand Cru Pinot Noir


•Name - Grand Cru
•Variety - Pinot Noir
•Region - California
•Country - USA
•Year - 2013
•Price - $6.95

Vintage Cellar Review: "This ruby-colored wine has aromas of raspberry, cherry and a hint of vanilla. Flavors of cherry and plum lead to a soft velvety finish. This wine can be enjoyed by itself. It is also an excellent accompaniment with Brie, goat cheese and smoked salmon. Lamb shanks and pork tenderloin are a favorite main dishes to pair with this wine"

My Review: I smelled a strong dark fruit component. I couldn't pick out specific fruits, but I didn't smell the hint of vanilla that the description says. I thought it had a full body with more dark fruit flavors, especially cherry. Not one of my favorites because it wasn't fruity enough for me.
