I still remember the first time that I remember drinking
a Pinot Noir. Of course, it wasn't the first time that I
ever had one, but it was the first time that I distinctly
remember having one.
Since I love Beringer's 'Napa Valley' Chardonnay, I was
willing to give their Pinot Noir at the same level a try.
And I am happy. This wine is very nice Pinot Noir,
giving ample plum flavor, a little smoke and wood, and just
the proper amount of spice while not killing you with too
many tannins. The finish is long and the body is velvety.
This is a wine fit for game meats, fowl, or anything grilled
just right that has been marinated beforehand; no need to
slather it with sauce afterward.
Being that I have essentially had every grade of Beringer
Chardonnay from 'Napa Valley' and above, I am wondering what
other delights they will unveil with this grape.
