Tasting - Beringer Pinot Noir


Name: Beringer Pinot Noir
Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Region: Napa Valley, California
Country: USA
Year: 2008
Price: $4.95

Winery Review: “Pinot Noir always presents an incredible array of characteristics, beginning with the aromas of chocolate covered cherries, candied violets and traces of anise and mint that greet the nose. Vibrant red fruit flavors are accentuated by bright acidity, hints of smoke and barrel toast. The 2008 Napa Valley Pinot Noir has a lovely richness and weight, making it a wonderful pairing for many richer dishes.” – Winemaker, Laurie Hook

My Review: This Pinot Noir is ruby red in color. The nose is really woodsy; it reminds me of the way trees smell in the fall. There is nothing fruity or sweet about the taste of this wine. It's like taking a sip of toasted wood and mushrooms. There aren't a lot of wines I don't like but this was one I just didn't care for.
