France
2009
Medium-bodied, fruity, but full of flavor red wine. It works well with simple dishes, like pasta, pizza, or with fresh bread and cheese (how we had it). We recommend having it with food only, post-dinner/by itself, it loses some of the magic. This bottle holds up well in the fridge for one-two days after opening.
Colin: It's a good, light pinot noir. The initial taste is a little alcoholy, but for the price, that can be easily overlooked. The only problem I have is with the finish, where the alcohol taste resognates. It is otherwise an okay body.
Rating: 5 out of 10 glasses
Rachel: For under ten dollars, I say this is a good buy. I like Noirs for their fruity, usually delicate flavor. This one was a little more bold and sour, but still smooth. Definitely has some cherry notes. Worth the buy if you are looking for something a little cheaper and foreign.
