Wine Review: This ruby colored Pinot Noir from Etude opens with a black raspberry and mild wild strawberry bouquet with hints of cedar, mulling spices, and red cherry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, smooth, supple, and polished. The flavor profile is a stewed plum and mild black raspberry blend with notes of clove, orange peel, and mushroom. We also detected hints of oolong tea, bay leaf, and fine stone dust. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity and refined well-managed tannins stick around for a while. With a little aeration, everything comes together nicely. The Tasting Panel would pair this Pinot Noir with a fresh sliced Norwegian salmon or roast duck with mushroom risotto. Enjoy - KWGTP
