Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Pinot Noir from Handley opens with cherry-cola bouquet with hints of clove and faint red raspberry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic and savory. The flavor profile is a red plum and mild oak blend with notes of black currant. I also detected a hint of pomegranate. The finish is dry and its flavors are slightly prolonged. This Pinot would pair well with a grilled salmon burger. Enjoy - Ken
