Tasting - Picket Fence Pinot Noir

Name: Picket Fence Pinot Noir
Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Region: Russian River Valley, California
Country: United States
Year: 2012
Price:$17.95

Winery Review: Aromas of brandy-macerated red cherries, bay laurel, duck fat, forest floor, toasty baking spices and warm vanilla. The chewy red and black fruits come through in the mouth with layers of fine tannins and just a whisper of smoldering French oak. A delicious finish ends this wine on a lush note of creme brulee topped with plum compote.

My Review: This wine had a smoky, woody aroma. There was not much fruit flavor and had flavors of spices instead. The finish was slightly tannic but more acidic than expected.

I did not have this wine with food.
