Tasting - Canyon Road Pinot Noir

Name:  Canyon Road Pinot Noir
Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Year:  2012
Region:  California
Country:  USA
Price:  $6.95

Review:  "Rich, fruit forward cherry flavors, soft tannins, a medium body and a smooth velvety finish. Pairs well with creamy soups, salmon, and savory pork dishes"

My Review:  This red wine was more fruity on the nose than on the tongue.  I picked up dark berries, raspberries, plums, cherries.  When I tasted it, it was slightly sweet and tannic and very full-bodied.  There was a hint of plums and pepper on the finish.  Texturally, it was very smooth.  I did not taste this wine with food.
