Name: The Deck Royal Flush
Variety: Pinot Noir
Region: Central Valley
Country: Chile
Year: 2008
Price: $15.95 (Vintage Cellar)

Shop Review:
A lively and purple red color. It shows great varietal character in a young and refreshing approach: rich fruit notes of cherry, plum, and strawberry.

My Review:
This pinot noir brought back the red fruity jam smells. I haven't had very many of them, but this one was outstandingly jammy on the nose. On the palate I got hints of cherry and plum hidden under a thin layer of dark chocolate. More of a semi-sweet chocolate, because this wine is a little dry. Over all a good wine, but not one of my favorites.
