Tasting - Clos De Napa Valley Napa Valley Pinot Noir




Name: Clos De Napa Valley

Variety:  Pinot Noir

Region: Napa Valley

Country: USA

Year: 2018

Price: 16.99

Wine Review: This Pinot Noir has and aromas of raspberries, black cherries, red currants and a soft vanilla.

Wine Folly:  The world’s most popular light-bodied red is loved for its red fruit and spice flavors that are accentuated by a long, smooth, soft-tannin finish (p. 150).

My Review: This wine was enjoyable but would have been better around 4 years ago. It had lost its structure and was very hard to describe. I made pasta sauce with it and that pairing was excellent, I just wish the wine had more flavors. (2/5)
