Wine critic review: "Great tasting Pinot...2021 vintage has nice full blackberry flavor with a medium-full body. Highly recommended Pinot that is good with cheese and crackers, a meal or on its own" - Kevin C. Johnson, Vinio
My Review: The Apothic Pinot Noir had a berry-like smell, which reminded me of cherries. It was fairly sweet and mild flavored with a buttery-like, smooth finish. I found this wine to be medium-bodied without any bitter flavor. Overall I really enjoyed this wine and plan on purhcasing again! I like this much more than the Pinot Noir that I tried last week. I had this wine with a meal of mashed potatoes, roasted chicken thighs, and veggies. I thought the sweetness of the wine really complimented the saltiness and richness of the potatoes.
Wine Folly: Pinot Noir is described in Wine Folly (page 238) as being very versitle in terms of food pairings. This is mainly because of its low tannin and higher acidity. I found this to definitly be true, considering that the wine went so well with the rich and salty potatoes. It also says that Pinot Noir is known for its raspberry flavor, which I did pick up on a little bit (page 238).
