13.5% alc., $10. Produced by Muirwood Vineyards in San Martin,
CA. Six Pinot Noir clones, aged in new and seasoned French oak.
·
Deep red fruits with overpowering oak char
on the nose. Darker cherry and berry fruit flavors that are soft on the palate and clean on the finish. Once you
get by the nose, it is a pretty good drink for the money.
