Tasting - Cavit Alta Luna Pinot Noir



Name: Cavit Alta Luna
Variety: Pinot Noir
Region: Vigneti delle Dolomiti
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $20 (Sale $9.95)

Winery Review:
On the nose cherry, plum and berry aromas mingle with notes of spice and tobacco. On the palate soft, supple tannins and refreshing acidity are beautifully balanced by ripe cherry fruit flavors on the finish which is dry, harmonious and elegant.

My Review:
This was a super "loose" wine and was very flowy in the glass. It smelled like cherry with hints of tobacco, and a little bit of pomegranate with raspberry. When tasted, this wine was fruity, beginning more bitter but was very smooth. This wine seems like it would cut through heavy food well, if you were serving it with a rich dinner meal. There were slight hints of pomegranate in the taste, but overall the finish was very nice. This was tasted without food.
