Tasting- Cherry Cove Pinot Noir

Name: Cherry Cove Pinot Noir
Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Region: Willamette Valley
Country: Oregon
Year: 2011
Price: $18

Winery review: The ruby color of this wine suggests classic Pinot as the nose opens with fresh lavender and plum jam. Across palate are vibrant tones, from explosive red cherry on entry to the lush strawberry on the lively mid-palate. Lingering floral tones hang for just a moment and carry though the soft finish. 


My review: I honestly had no idea what the winery review is talking about. The nose of this wine is reminiscent of rotten vegetables and moldy cheese. Across the pallet it tastes like licking a cellar floor. Lingering tones of mothballs make you reach for the nearest gallon of water to cleanse your newly assaulted pallet. I highly recommend 
staying away from this wine if you love your taste buds. 

I tried this wine without food.
