Tasting- DeLoach Pinot Noir

The DeLoach Pinot Noir was the third wine I tried at the Vintage Cellar on Saturday. This wine is made from Pinot Noir grapes picked in 2009 in the central coast region of California. This is another affordable wine at only $12.95. 

The Vintage Cellar described the smell of this wine as "smoked meats and fragrant herbs...ripe berries," with flavors of "liqeur-soaked dark cherries, with pancetta and rosemary." This is a pretty good description of the wine. It was definitely a wine that would go better with food and was just a little to much to come on its own. To me it tasted bready and woody and I noticed a lot of tannins.It smelled smokey and woody too.
