Patriarche Pinot Noir VDP 2011 12.5 % alcohol about $10.
Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. “Tasting Note : Pale
ruby colour; light cherry and spice aromas; sweet fresh cherry flavour,
soft finish. Serving Suggestion : Serve with cold roast beef.” And now
for my review.At the first sips this wine was too sweet. It was long and plummy. When it encountered a commercial Shepherd’s pie this drink offered balanced acidity and tannins but it was thin and too sweet. Japanese rice crackers strengthened and lengthened the contents of my glass. Then I doused the dish with a liberal amount of Chinese chili sauce. In response Red picked up some pepper.
