I felt fortunate to sample this outstanding Pinot Noir at a local wine tasting last week.  Just everything I love about this varietal:  Beautiful purple in the glass, noseful of cherries and rich yet bright flavors of ripe cherries, raspberries and wild strawberries.

This fruit forward French Pinot Noir is silky, elegant and just super.

Pairings:  Roasted turkey, grilled chicken or duck and pork.

Around $45.
