The 2017 Villa Wolf Pinot Noir begins with pleasing aromas of cherry, cola, strawberry, cranberry, red licorice and a little oaky spice. Tasting reveals a really nice example of German Pinot Noir, which is a bit lighter (light to medium-bodied) than what you find in many US examples. In the mouth it's soft and easy to drink and features similar flavors to the nose with a bit of oaky spice leading into the dry, long finish.
If you enjoy this style, this is a really nice, affordable example that makes a great warm weather red.
