Tortoise Creek 2005 Pinot Noir France

It’s a nice representative of a Pinot. I ran across this one at a local supermarket. And on sale, too. Good with a nice light dinner or drinking on it’s own.

It’s got a clear, bright, lively if a somewhat light ruby-violet color. There are some nice cherry and berry notes. It’s nicely astringent with good balance but not a particularly long finish. It’s got an easy-open screw top cap, but don’t hold that against this wine.

Grade: B Price: $10
