Here is a simple, dry, budget priced Pinot Noir that’s worthy of the table. It delivers aromas and flavors of cherry, strawberry and raspberry fruit with a bit of cedar spice, and it’s got the acidity to take on some food with a bit of fat in it. At this price you’ll enjoy experimenting with some different foods to find just the right pairing.
