Pinot Noir Wines top our bargain selections of the week – October 31

Posted on October 31, 2011 by Joe

I chilled it for about 1 hour and then decanted it and let it set for about an hour. Pinot Noir wines taste better slightly chilled. It took a while even in the glass to open up but once it did it was very good. It has flavors of cherries and good texture in the mouth. The Wine Enthusiast gives it a 91 and a $23 price point. I like but not as much as the Calera I reviewed last week, but the price point is better at $12.99 vs $19.99. I give it an 88 point rating. Continue reading →
