Gosling’s Wine of the Week

ERATH PINOT NOIR 2010
Erath Pinot Noir 2010 is Gosling’s choice for Chef Daamian’s recipe.
This wine, from Oregon in the U.S.A.,  is bright cherry red with hints of violets, vanilla and pie crust aromas, punctuated by an alluring smokiness. A sweet approach leads to a satiny mouthful of red plum, cranberry and sage. Food friendly acidity allows for a spirited, lasting finish.
The retail price is $24.75 and is available at Lindo’s and Gosling’s stores.
