Tasting - Robert Mondavi Pinot Noir

Name: Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi 
Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2010
Price: $11.50


Wine review: Our silky, fruit-focused 2010 Pinot Noir pairs perfectly with many foods. Its elegant aromas and flavors offer light cherry and strawberry notes accented by a hint of cinnamon. On the palate these velvety, rich red fruit flavors mingle with a touch of smoke from the toasted oak aging. Enjoy this versatile wine with grilled tuna steaks, roasted lamb, or wild mushroom risotto.


My review: I enjoyed this red wine, rating it a 7 out of 10. It's deep red color gave out aromas of light citrus fruits but also some musky hints. It had a lot of body and an alcohol content of 13%, but lower acidity, tannins, and sweetest. For a red, it was smooth and did not have much heat. It tasted of dark berries and grape and had some hints of wood. I did not pair this wine with any food, but I would taste it again.
