Biggio Hamina 2009 Pinot Noir
$25
On the Nose: unsweetened Twizzlers may not be the most eloquent way to put it, but it has notes of tart cherry and strawberry to it, so that is what I 1st thought of.
On the Palate: Tart cherries, strawberries, and a little raspberry as well. There are also notes of walnuts, uncooked oats and something floral - perhaps rose petals.
Even though this is an incredibly light Pinot Noir, it is not thin. It has a good medium body to it, that gives the walnut notes a more rounder feel. Even though the body could stand up to it, I would not pair this with anything heavy or too full on flavor - you will overwhelm the wine. Stick with this as a before dinner drink with a little cheese or to end dinner with. Or just crack it open on your balcony, like I do!
