This 2011 Robert Mondavi Private Selection Pinot Noir is from Acampo, California, Pinot Noir varietal, priced at $11.00. Cheap Wine Ratings said, "The nose on this wine is pleasant, with aromas like nutmeg, vanilla, cherry and a subtle frankincense. At least that’s what comes to mind. I honestly haven’t smelled actual frankincense in some time, but the wine has a perfume / incense fragrance that made me think of frankincense. In the mouth it offers tart cherry flavors up front, with some strawberry flavors and spice coming into play on the mid-palate. The finish is a touch bitter, but not offensively so. The acidity is good and the tannins are subtle, but sufficient. All told, this is a decent, although somewhat predictible, pinot noir". I thought that this was a good pinot noir for the price. It was extremely light in color and smelt of vanilla, cherries, strawberries, and smoky oak. And it had a fresh fruit taste with hints of sour cherries and strawberries.
