In celebration of her big hit single Jolene, released 51 years ago this month, Dolly Parton has released her signature Pinot Noir wine. The wine is best described as a “silky sip with a fresh palate enriched with red fruit characters and a hint of vanilla. Aromas of warm blueberry pie fresh from the oven, sweet cherries ripe from the tree, and subtle thyme dried from the family garden”.
Now, I am going to be honest. I do not typically drink wine. However, when I received an email from Dolly Parton’s team asking me to try a bottle, I thought why not? It was hand delivered to our doorstep just in time for Valentine’s Day. Enjoyed a glass with my boyfriend after our dinner that night. Paired it with a slice of chocolate cake, the rich chocolate balancing out the fruitiness of the wine perfectly. Wine has a strong, fruity aroma. Taste is sweet but tart at the same time, like a cherry. The twist off top made for easy access. Had a friend try as well. He found it to have a subtle fruit flavor with a slight hint of vanilla, adding that it provided a smooth, dry finish.
If you are looking for something new to try look no further. Put on your favorite Dolly Parton album, and kick back and relax with a bottle of her Pinot Noir today. This wine is “fruits of many colors” After a hard day of “working 9-5”, it is the perfect choice to take “three doors down where they’re laughing and drinking and having a party.”
But don’t just take our word for it. Listen to Dolly. “For many years I have not liked the color red, because it reminds me of that woman who tried to take my husband! Remember, ‘Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, ‘ but my new Pinot Noir has changed all that! I love red now. You should try it.”
Dolly Parton’s signature Pinot Noir sells for $14.99 at select wine retailers across the US including Kroger, Total Wine & More, Publix, and Cost Plus Word Market.
