Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2013

Name: Grand Cru
Variety: Pinot Noir
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $6.95
Shop/Critic/Winery Review: "This ruby-colored wine has aromas of raspberry, cherry and a hint of vanilla. Flavors of cherry and plum lead to a soft velvety finish. This wine can be enjoyed by itself. It is also an excellent accompaniment with Brie, goat cheese and smoked salmon. Lamb shanks and pork tenderloin are a favorite main dishes to pair with this wine."

My impressions: Very fragrant (clearly it wasn't my nose on the last wine!) nose, full of dark fruit.  Blackberry?  Excellent flavor, but I can't place it.  Lasting finish. Probably the best $7 bottle I've ever had (that wasn't on sale).
