2007 Merryvale Carneros Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $35.
·
The nose is a chameleon,
offering scents that vary from cherries to raspberry tart, from herb garden to sweet
oak. Perfectly fine cherry flavors with a sidecar of oak toast and baking spices and
a baked cookie note. Beautifully balanced and refreshing to drink. Not a
blockbuster, but I could be perfectly happy with this wine any night with dinner.
