I had a tasting on Pinot Evil Pinot Noir ($5 on sale, regularly $7) from France. This is a non-vintage wine. The aroma was cherry (as stated in the Winemaker's Notes). The flavor ... flavorless (notice no flavor profile mentioned in the Winemaker's Notes) with a tart finish. Not tannic. Mouth feel was thin. To say this was underwhelming is being generous. Yes, I did sell wine, but most customers did not enjoy this. I spoke with a couple other women that were doing a tasting on this wine and it was not well received at their tastings either. Winemaker's Notes: France is an ideal location for wine, especially when it comes to Pinot Noir. With a cool climate, France has one of the best growing regions in the world for pinot noir grapes. From I’lle de Beauté, France this Pinot Noir is light-bodied, has a lovely ripe cherry nose that cascades into a smooth, velvet finish. Enjoy this wine with roasted duck, rosemary-garlic pork or with friends when you just monkey around.
