Shop/Winery/Critic Review: “Mark West Pinot Noir has lovely aromas of cherry and red currant that are complemented by notes of caramel with hints of vanilla and toasted oak. Our goal was to create a rounder mouthfeel and balance out the fruit notes with enhanced spice and savory notes. The wine finishes with hints of dried cherries and brown spice.” Mark West (2021)
References of specific flavors/aromas/grape characteristics: According to Wine Folly, Pinot Noir has references of raspberry, black cherry, clove, mushroom, and vanilla. I tasted more of a smoky flavor in this Pinot Noir. (Pg. 150)
My Review: Tasted without food. This wine had a very smoky flavor. It was not my favorite red, I definitely like Cab Sav better. I honestly felt like there wasn’t much flavor to this wine at all. I did not taste any of the references from Wine Folly. I probably would not recommend this wine to a friend, but it was not the worst wine I’ve tasted.
