Very inexpensive pinot noir, from the Carneros region in Napa. Soft body, typical pinot cherry nose and flavor. A bit subdued, perhaps. Certainly more subdued - or subtle, if you prefer - than the NZ pinot I had a couple of days ago. Simple structure with little noticeable tannins. It'd be fine to drink by itself or with light pasta or chicken dishes. Probably would have expected to pay $12 or $15 for this; apparently, it's being pushed to retailers with good deals.
$7.99, Raleigh, Carolina Wine Company.
