Cancilla Cellars Pinot Noir Reserve 2007 – Williamette Valley, Oregon
Cost: $34.99
This is a medium-bodied but dark, ruby red colored pinot noir showcasing a perfumed nose of strawberry, cassis, cherry-pie, clove spice, and Dr. Pepper soda. It has a crisp mouthfeel, with grippy acids and tannins that dry the upper innards of your mouth, but the flavors are potent and laser-like, showcasing an array of red and black fruits that grapples with the mid-palate. Finishes long and dry, but the acidity and tannins linger on the back palate. Overall, a nice pinot noir that you can enjoy with pasta, grilled seafood, and lighter meat dishes.
