Wine Review:  Smooth, supple and warmly fruity, this is a cherry pie of a wine. Generous red- and black-cherry flavors are wrapped in soft tannins for a rich feel without being heavy. Small amounts of Zinfandel and Barbera were blended in. (Jim Gordon)

Wine Folly: Pg.150 : Pinot Noir as described by the Wine Folly has light tannins and a higher acidity component. I thought this descriptions was very applicable to the barefoot Pinot Noir that I tried. It also states how it generally goes well with duck, chicken, pork and mushrooms. While I haven't the wine with any food, I can see how this pairing could work.

My Review: This was my first time, that I know of tasting a Pinot Noir and I really enjoyed this wine. I liked that it had noticeable tannic components to it, but it was not over powering. I also really enjoyed the cherry flavors and subtle fruit flavors that I was picking up on. I would definitely have this wine again. I tried this wine without any food but would like to try it with some dinner in the future. I drank this wine at room temperature and that seemed to be a good temperature.
