Castle Rock 2008 Reserve Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: Castle Rock / Reserve

A nice, everyday Pinot, with a properly silky texture. The cherry, cola, red licorice and bacon flavors are satisfyingly rich, with elaborate oak overtones. It’s a pretty good value in an under-$20 Pinot Noir.
