Carmel Road Pinot Noir


Carmel Road Pinot Noir


Growing Area: California
Vintage: 2009
Price: $17.49 USD

The visual inspection of this Pinot Noir showed the wine to have a clear medium tawny color with ruby overlay in the tint.  The smell was easily defined as a smoky, oak, black current scent. 


The flavor summary revealed notes of fruity plum and jam that eventually gave way to a dry mineral tastes making for a moderately simple finish.


I ended up pairing my Carmel Road Pinot Noir with the following meal:

Chicken Teriyaki
Brown Rice
Fried Pineapple Slices

Overall I give this wine 3 corks out of 5.
