| Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 11/2/2009 & rated 91 points: I didn't think this owuld be ready but I really wanted to try a red. It has a lovely pale cherry color. i love Pinot's that look light but are not. Lots of cherris and cherry liquer flavors. I kept expecting it to have some stink to it (it just looked like it would), but this was clean. I love the stink. After 4 hours, it did show a bit of development and I suspect it will have mroe complex aromatics in a few years. These are nice now, but really primary. The fruit is open but there is zero development at this point. While I am not sure how it will develop, I think that it will be very good in 2012 thru 2020. (263 views) |

About red wine
Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia) Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success. WineAmerica (National Association of American Wineries) | Free the Grapes! California Wines (Wine Institute of California) California is one of the most diverse wine regions in the world, with almost 100 grape varieties grown in almost 10 viticultural areas, including dozens of different microclimates and soil types, as well as a very individualistic set of winemakers, many with international experience, which adds to and deepens that diversity.
