Wine Tasting Notes - Smoking Loon Pinot Noir 2010 (California)

Smoking Loon Pinot Noir (2010)

With a name like Smoking Loon, how can you go wrong?  I picked out a bottle of their Pinot Noir for Labor day and I have a quick review here.

The color is a light semi-clear red that has a little glint of silver in it.  The aroma is light, nothing spectacular of note.  Same goes with the taste- nothing really stands out too much about this wine.  I cand detect a faint taste of strawberries in this pinot noir along with a light herbal taste- maybe sage?

I would definitely classify this one as quaffable- it would go well with sandwiches, seafood, and cold pastas.  Since its taste panel is not overly complex, there is not a whole lot to consider while dirnking this wine.
