Tasting-Castle Rock Pinot Noir



Name: Castle Rock Pinot Noir

Variety:  Pinot Noir

Region: North Coast

Country:  USA (CA)

Year:  2009

Price: $9.99

Winemaker's notes (from Total Wine and More website):  Medium bodied,  with aromoas of tea, cherry and herbal spice. On the palate, the wine gives flavors of black cherry, plum, and spice. It is smooth with a silky texture and mild tannins.

My tasting notes: On the nose, an aroma of black fruit predominates. On the palate, the cherry comes through. Fairly smooth, although I  found the finish to be somewhat non-descript.  Overall, OK.  A md-range choice in Pinot Noir.
