Tasting - Canyon Road Pinot Noir

Name: Canyon Road Pinot Noir
Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2013 (Vintage)
Price: $12 (Currently on sale at The Vintage Cellar for $6.95)

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

My Review: This was a simple, but nice little Pinot Noir. On the nose was a nice deep berry smell, with maybe even some hints of plum. On the tongue this wine was super smooth and tasted of berries, cherries, and I even caught a hint of vanilla in the background. Not the best Pinot Noir I have had, but I did enjoy it. This was tasted on its own without food.
