Kim Crawford - Pinot Noir (2014)

This bottle cost me $15 but I don't regret it for once.  Probably not quite as expensive in New Zealand.

As expected of a Pinot Noir this wine isn't bold in flavor, but the flavor profile of this one is very nice.  Medium-dark fruit forward, offset by mild tannins.  What makes this wine really great is that it's supremely dry, so the sweetness doesn't get in the way of this excellent balance.

Flavor is the best between cellar and room temperature, so if serving directly from the fridge, make sure you let it warm for awhile first.

There is not even a hint of alcohol taste in this wine.

4/4
