Tasting - Leese Fitch Pinot Noir

Name: Leese-Fitch Pinot Noir
Variety: 82% Pinot Noir, 10% Barbera, 5% Valdigue, 3% Zinfandel
Region: Multiple
State: California
Country: USA
Year: 2016
Price: $12



Winery Review: Balanced with just the right amount of acidity and fruit, this Pinot Noir boasts alluring aromas of crushed pomegranate, fresh cherry, graham cracker and thyme. Flavors on the palate showcase sweetened cranberry, tart raspberry, vanilla cream and hints of blood orange. The finish is intriguing and complex with herbal notes framed by nutmeg and vanilla.

My Review: This was a pretty characteristic Pinot Noir with a light body and mild tannins. The aromas were fruity with notes of strawberry, raspberry, and possibly pomegranate. There was a cherry flavor when tasting with hints of vanilla and chocolate in the finish. It was slightly acidic but was balanced well against the fruity flavor. I really enjoyed this and would certainly try it again. I also didn't have any food with it.
