Mezzacorona Pinot Noir
Continuing my quest for a good, cheap Pinot Noir I picked up a bottle of Italian pinot. Mezzacorona Pinot Noir comes from the Tretino region of Italy. It’s a simple Pinot Noir that I found rather boring.
There is nothing bad about this wine other than a lack of complexity and underwhelming characteristics. The nose is mostly cherry with some floral aspects. The palate is rather like cherry Kool-aid (only not quite as sweet) with a nice peppery acidity. The spice was the one thing I liked about this wine. It finishes quick-to-medium with the same lack of complexity.
I picked it up for $7.99, which is a decent price.
