Pop the cork, decant and then poured a glass with dinner (grilled salmon over pasta with a light tomato cream sauce + sugar snap peas). This wine has a pretty dark ruby color. The aromas of of ripe strawberries, cranberries and brown sugar. Smooth red fruit flavors that really expand and coat your palate. Good sweetness at first that melds into a nice tart finish. Excellent balance overall and really went well with the food.
This wine won double gold at the Calif State Fair. It's 80% pinot noir and 20% syrah with 13.8% ABV. Widely available (110,000 cases produced). I found at my local Safeway grocery for $8.99! I can hardly wait to try the next vintage as 2007 is looking to be fantastic for Calif pinots.
