Tasting - Canyon Road Pinot Noir



Name: Canyon Road Pinot Noir
Variety: Pinot Noir
Country: California
Year: 2010
Price: $6.95

Vintage Cellar Review: This Pinot Noir expresses tantalizing flavors of ripe cherry and wild raspberry, and finishes with brown, vanilla spices and a smooth finish.

My Review: The nose on this wine was of dark fruit, there was also a slight hint of pepper and spices.  When tasting the wine, it was sweeter then I had expected, this was a pleasant surprise.  The wine was also slightly fruity, and not as tannic as many reds are.  The wine was smooth, but there was still a slight afterburn when swallowing the wine.
