Golan Heights "Gilgal" 2018 Pinot Noir




Golan Heights "Gilgal" 2018 Pinot Noir, $14.44-$18.99, 88 points, poured a medium ruby color with violet highlights, a clear meniscus, and a surprising ring of copious legs.
Aromas of blueberries, cinnamon cherries, and petrichor were good.
A not even medium-bodied off-dry and fruity red wine that reminded me more of an excellent Beaujolais than a Pinot Noir; showed good acidity and mellow tannins; flavors of slightly carbonated Welch's grape juice, red cherry, and turkey gravy (a first for me) were quite tasty.
Finished fair on the fading palate, cinnamon, watermelon rind, and a surprisingly low 12.5% alcohol.
Paired fine with our chicken-wing buffet.
