PINOT NOIR

PROFILE: Pinot Noir is the world's most popular light-bodied red and is loved for its red fruit and spice flavors that are accentuated by a long, smooth, soft-tannin finish. A versatile red wine for food pairing given the higher acidity and lower tannins.  Notes of cherry, raspberry, clove, mushroom and vanilla.  

PAIRINGS: Pinot Noir tastes like it was meant for duck, chicken, pork, and mushrooms.
