Wine Review: Joe Carr always provides a terrific value with his wines. This Pinot is another one of those really good value wines. How often can you find a Very Good Pinot for $20? This one opens with an attractive fragrant strawberry bouquet. On the palate, this Pinot is medium bodied, balanced, and very tasty. The flavor profile is black currant with notes of black raspberry and smoky old oak. The finish is dry and its smoky oak tannins linger nicely. This wine would pair well with a thyme seasoned pork tenderloin. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Complex aromatics, with ripe strawberry and floral rose petals on the nose. Bright in color, this Pinot Noir exhibits flavors of sweet black cherry, cassis, spice and hints of cinnamon. Moderate tannins give this wine body and a smooth finish.
