Wine Tasting Review: Garnet color. Aromas and flavors of cocoa powder, canned cherries, and raspberry with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish with impressions of chocolate raspberry nougat, milk chocolate, green herbs, and vitamin c tablet with a suggestion of oak flavor. A ripe and juicy Pinot Noir with tangy tannins and fresh acid.(https://www.tastings.com/Wine-Review/Winemakers-Selection-2020-Classic-Series-Pinot-Noir-California-USA-12-04-2022.aspx)
Wine Folly: I did get the fruity tastes as well as a little sweeter almost cocoa like taste(like chocolate). Didn't get any traces of earthiness and spice that they mentioned. Also did not do the decanting for 30 mins that they recommended. Something to try next time.(https://winefolly.com/grapes/pinot-noir/)
My review: It was cheap but flavorful. The juxtaposition of fruity cherries and raspberry flavors with almost chocolate like undertone was very interesting. It was not too alcoholic but there was a sense of fresh acidity. I'm not sure if that fresh acidity is what the reviews considered the vitamin c tablet taste(oddly specific).
I tasted this on its own with no food.
