Woodbridge By Robert Mondavi Pinot Noir 2011

Nose of cherry! Dark fruits of cherry, blackberry. Soft. Smooth on the pallet with light to little dryness.

I love pinot noir and the quality of woodbrige is one of the best that i've expirience in the wine would.

Some black cherry, pepper, a little earthy on the nose. A little light on the palate at first but opens up with a little time to breathe. Some notes of cherry come through on the palate again, but this is not a fruit forward wine. There's just enough fruit that you can taste it coming through. Mainly earthy with some pepper. To put it in layman's terms, overall I'm rather impressed with this wine especially considering that I only paid $8 for it at a local liquor store. I just might have to go back and get a few more of these. So far I've only paired it with some crackers with bacon and cheddar cheese spread. Wasn't a horrible matchup, but it didn't exactly make me go "wow" either. I think this would be much better with pizza. Perhaps I'll give that a try next time. Can't give it a 5 glass rating though as it is certainly not the best malbec I've ever had. Not really a 4 glass rating either. If I could go 3.9 I would, but as it is it gets 3.5. Pretty good effort by the winemaker.

I was suprised. I tried the Robert Mondavi reserve Pinot Noir 2009 and commented I would not repeat. I liked this wine, The touch of smoke adds to the enjoyment and the price makes it a good buy.

One of my favorite wines to keep around the kitchen. Delicious with red meat and good conversation.

A little watery, nice aftertaste.

Great color, moderate aroma a fairly light wine that's lively . Short finish, not very smooth and lacks depth. Even though it's inexpensive many more great wines to be had at the same price. I would drink it but, I would not buy it again.
