Wednesday, September 1, 2010 - Call my palate dumb, but no intrusive smoke taint here. Just a nice, elegant style Pinot Noir with red cherry, cranberry and a little bit of spice. Considering the last Pinot Noir I drank, 2005 Aubert UV, was at the total opposite of the spectrum than this one, I was very happy with the lower alcohol, more finesse and lighter style. There was definitely nothing in the wine that was off-putting.
I enjoyed it with some smoked salmon, pea and cream pasta.
