Wine Review: This bright red colored Pinot Noir from Ferrari Carano is very nice. It opens with an attractive mild black raspberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, nicely balanced and approachable. The flavor profile is a gentle blueberry with notes of plum. I also detected hints of mild minerality, clove and acai berry. The finish is dry and fades away nicely. This Pinot is food friendly and versatile. I would pair it with a roasted pork loin with herbs. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Aromas of ripe cherry, black plum, pomegranate and a touch of warm spice fill the senses, followed by vibrant flavors of complex red fruits, cola, rose petals and warm baking spices. Notes of graham cracker and pie crust round out the soft finish. A velvety texture and bright acidity distinguish this naturally-balanced wine. This wine pairs perfectly with salmon, fowl and meat entrées like beef bourguignon or rack of lamb.
