Weirly enough, I like my Pinot Noir better as a white, rose, and/or a sparkling wine, but every now and then I choose it in the traditional red version.  This wine is a little light, like a classic Burgundy and has a nice bite of cherry with an undercurrent of tobacco.  It's not too strong and goes well with things which aren't heavily spiced.  The finish is quick and only last for about twenty to thirty seconds, but the wine is nice for what it is.

Our Mission: The Black Winer strives to expose African Americans [and others] to wines, without the flair, stuffiness, and airs of elitism and snobbery that you get from sommeliers and high level wine enthusiasts. We believe in finding something that you like the taste of, outside of the basic brands that you have been force-fed over the years through a combination of ethnically targeted advertising, and what people in your family have historically been drinking.
