Tasting -- A to Z Oregon Pinot Noir

Name: A to Z oregon Pinot Noir
Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Region: Oregon
Country: USA
Year: 2011
Price: $14.99

Winery review: "This sleek red is tightly packed, with delicate layers of cherry, tobacco and cocoa flavors that mingle against refined tannins, persisting pleasantly on the light-stepping finish. Drink now through 2017."

My review: The color of this Oregon pinot noir was a bit darker than other noirs. The wine is rather light but loaded with flavors. It had a bouquet of cherry and cocoa that was rather tantalizing. It's taste was delicate and deliberate with floods of cherry, strawberry, rose, and perhaps tobacco. Reminiscent of candy.
