Tasting - Canyon Road Pinot Noir 2013


Name: Canyon Road Pinot Noir
Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Region: Sonoma County, California 
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $12.00, $6.95 sale

Winery Review: Rich, fruit forward cherry flavors, soft tannins, a medium body, and a smooth velvety finish. Pairs well with cream soups, salmon, and savory pork dishes.

My Review: Upon smelling this wine, I immediately could smell cheese (and then wanted to eat some).  After a few more sniffs and sips, I could move past the cheese aroma and detect the red fruits in this wine.  The drink was smooth in mouth but the end felt a bit overly dry. Overall, I would drink it again but it is not my favorite Pinot Noir that I have tried from California.

I did not have any food with this wine.
