| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Reminding one how Pinot Noir is the feminine red wine grape, this juicy, aromatic Pinot Noir presents a savory approach to the classic red cherry characters many people enjoy in the grape. Typical of good Pinot Noir, the wine shows a translucent dark cherry color. Clean, pure fruit aromas tag team with a hint of dried herb as one might expect from a Pinot Noir out of Victoria. On the palate, sweet fruit leads the herbal notes to a moderately long, mostly pleasing finish that shows just a bit of acid overreach in the end. Moderate alcohol (13.5%). A good value for both Pinot Noir lovers and anyone looking for a reasonably priced introduction to the genre. Serve cool, about 65ºF/17ºC, with delicate foods. Best choices are a chicken liver mousse or mousse of foie gras, roast chicken or mild game birds (Cornish hen, quail), pizza or flat bread with prosciutto, figs and mild cheese; roast pork or lamb tenderloin, grilled salmon. Note: There are 24 different labels for this wine, but the key word to look for is “Permutations,” common to all of them.
