Pinot Noir
Loire Valley, France
2011
Regular Price: $15 Sale Price: $7.95
Winery review: "In the heart of France’s Loire River Valley lies the Touraine wine region.
Although it produces vast amounts of well-priced, fresh, mostly white wines, lovely reds like this are broadening Touraine’s appeal. This wine may seem familiar to you. It is a sibling of the Touraine Sauvignon Blanc we’ve offered for years. Serge de Bucy employs a light touch in his winemaking, using no wood and doing as little as possible to preserve freshness. Bright cherry and strawberry fruits are followed by a soft, smooth palate"
My Review: Although the winemaker did not employ any wood while crafting this wine, I picked up a smokey oak flavor. The smell of cherry and strawberry were obvious along with other bright fruits. Like the winery review states, it had a soft and smooth palate.
This wine was tasted without food.
