Tastes Like a Jelly Doughnut!


Baker’s Dozen Jammy Pinot Noir tastes more like a sweet red wine than a Pinot Noir; it is actually sweeter than some of the sweet red wines that I have tried.  The first sip surprised me because I wasn’t expecting for it to be as sweet as it is, but my taste buds loved it.  Even though I find it to be a little too sweet to have more than a couple of glasses at a time, it is delicious…it literally tastes like the jelly inside of a jelly doughnut; this wine lives up to its Baker’s Dozen Jammy name!  The flavors are of cherry and brown sugar, which leave a bold (yet pleasant) taste after every sip.  With some wines I find that it is hard to actually taste the flavors that are outlined, but there is no mistaking what flavors are in this Pinot Noir.  One thing that I found with this wine is that the longer it sits in the wine glass, the sweeter it gets; you can actually start to see the sugar left behind on the glass if it sits for too long.  If you don’t prefer red wine to be too sweet then make sure to drink up soon after the wine is poured!

Price: $12/bottle
