Wine of the Week: Red Tree Pinot Noir

Ready to try a new wine? Each week, we'll pick a wine to review. From the color to the palate, I'll break it down and give you my rating based on a 5-star system.

Welcome to Wine of the Week!

I just started my to help expand your world of wines. So tasting a new one each week and giving my recommendation sounded like the perfect idea.

These reviews don't just include higher-end bottles, but reasonably-priced wines everyone can enjoy - and your friends or host will think you spent more than you did!

This week's choice is Red Tree Pinot Noir 2009:

  • Color – Very light.  So light you can see right through it.  Reminds me of kool-aid.
  • Bouquet – Dried Cherries, a bit of chalkiness, faint flowers.
  • Palate – Dry and soft with slight cherries and just a hint of fruit punch, but not in a bad way. Very good balance and soft tannins.

Avg. Retail Price = $8.99
