My Review:
The last time I tried Pinot Noir, I disliked it a lot. Along with a bad experience with Pinot Grigio as well, I believe that maybe I just didn't like the Pinot grape. However, after trying MacMurray's Pinot Noir 2019, I have changed my mind about Pinot Noir. The aroma of this wine had a dark fruit scent and after aerating it a bit, I could make out blackberry specifically. When tasting it I noticed this particular Pinot Noir was a lot sweeter than my previous experience and it had a lot more fruit flavors that I enjoyed. It also had a nice and smooth mouth feel. I would say this is quite unusually as I am not a fan of red wine and I could go as far as to say I was anti any wine that had Pinot in the name. However, I really did enjoy this wine and I wouldn't mind tasting it again.
