Wine Review: When I was shopping in Kroger for my groceries I decided to pick up some wines to try. A man named Dennis introduced himself to me when I was browsing and helped me pick this Pinot Noir out. I don't have much knowledge of wine and he understood that and I told him that I was looking for something that is basic that could just get me started. Dennis told me I would get notes of cherries and raspberries.
Wine Folly: https://winefolly.com/grapes/pinot-noir/
The typically flavors of Pinot Noir based on Wine Folly are raspberries, cherries, mushroom, vanilla, and hibiscus. I did get the notes of cherries and raspberries but none of the others. They recommended to serve at slightly cooler than room temperature and to allow to decant for 30 minutes. I did not try the decanting but possibly will attempt that next time!
Personal Review: This was the first wine I have tried and thought about after drinking. I did taste cherries and raspberries but I also go hints of dark chocolate. The finish was short. The wine was quite smooth. I did not try with food but would love to retry it with a meal!
