• The Vinterra Pinot Noir displays ripe, sweet plum notes with an edge of complexity on the nose. The palate is rich and round supported by fine grain tannins.

My Tasting Notes

Color: Mostly garnet ith hints of violet, but not very concentrated. Lighter looking with a good amount of transparency

Nose: It smells like strawberries with slightly blackberry, but I get a distinct strawberry yogurt aroma more than anything else. There are also hints of raspberry and wet soil, like a musty undertone.

Palate:

• Body: 3
• Alcohol: 2
• Acidity: 4
• Tannin: 2-3

It has a medium to heavier body for a pinot with very good acidity aside a small amount of rounded grippy tannins. It tastes like unripe strawberries, raspberries, slight herbal and mint spices, and has a lot of tart sensation. It's not a very concentrated flavor either. Not my favorite pinot noir.
