Tasting- Canyon Road Pinot Noir



Name: Canyon Road Pinot Noir
Variety: Pinot Noir
Country: USA
Region: Madera, California
Year: 2012
Price: $6.95

Wine Shop 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: Upon my first smell of this wine, it was clear that this had a lot of the cherry flavors in it. It was as if someone took a bowl of ripe berries and grinded them up and had you smell it. Extremely fruity. I thought that the body was nice and loved the light tannin levels. I definitely tasted the cherry that I smelled while also getting a slightly jammy flavor. That included blackberry, strawberry, and blueberry. This is my favorite bottle of red wine that I have had yet.

I did not taste this wine with food.
