| 75 | | | 92 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | A Pinot Noir is a terrific pairing with turkey, although the style chosen needs to de-emphasize cherries in favor of more savory flavors and lean toward the earthy drama of the genre. That’s what happens with this one, from Maule Valley in Chile. Medium-bodied with a medium red cherry color, it shows aromas of dried herbs and delicate red cherry fruits, all of which carry over to the palate, where fairly supple tannins prevail. There’s no missing what genre of wine this is, and the price point will keep crowds of happy guests amazed at the quality. Yet the price won’t break the bank. Serving temperature, 60-65ºF/15-18ºC. Foods: Roast dark and white meat of turkey and a classic bread/celery dressing; roast duck or Cornish hen with raisin bread stuffing; game birds; pork tenderloin stuffed with a whole wheat dressing, celery and toasted nuts; also to begin, pâté, pork or duck rillets; leftovers: turkey croquets or turkey hash with sweet potatoes.
