Here’s a solid food friendly Pinot Noir at a pleasing price. Medium extraction and well-managed French oak give us a mouthful of cherry, strawberry, cranberry and spice, with crisp acidity that adds a citric note to the long finish. Salmon or swordfish – get a nice cut with what you saved on the wine.
