HEITLINGER PINOT NOIR 2019, Austria

The cherry and strawberry notes really shine through in this light-bodied Pinot, making it perfect for a casual weeknight dinner. I was surprised how smooth it drank for a 2019, and it paired beautifully with roasted chicken. Definitely a solid choice if you enjoy elegant, fruit-forward reds.

Opened this with dinner and the wild berry notes came through exactly as described, light enough that it didn't overpower the food. The cherry finish lingered just long enough to make the next sip feel like a treat.

Lighter than most Pinots I've tried but still full of flavor—the strawberry notes really come through without being too tart. Perfect for a weeknight dinner.
