Pink Fire Pointer 2011 A to Z Oregon Pinot Noir

2011 A to Z Oregon Pinot Noir


Spring is here!  A glorious day out here on the left coast - perfect for a nice light red.

The A to Z Pinot Noir is one of the wines I picked up on my trip up to the Pacific Northwest and it is a wonderful expression of the spin that the higher latitudes take on the Pinot Noir grape.  Cheeries of course, but I'm getting a nice tobacco note in the aroma and some great astringent tannins on the finish.  Highly recommended but a bit pricey - running around $20.

Cheers,
Jerry
