Color: dark ruby
Nose: red raspberry, milk chocolate, vanilla, tea
Palate: gorgeous cranberry & milk chocolate initially attacked the sides of the tongue then finished with coconut vanilla at tip of the tongue. Very generous fruit, but not as interesting as the 08 non-Reserve that I tasted yesterday.
Alcohol: 13.5%
Food Pairing: paired it w/ terriyaki salmon from Fairway, the combined matched very well. The salmon had some smokiness to it, which was offset by the sweat leather/vanilla of the Pinot Noir.
Purchased from: Port Chester, NY
Price: $31.99
Verdict: Too much American oak, can't get much tertiary flavors. I'll pass.
