Here is a nice value in a Napa Valley Pinot Noir. It needs some air time in the glass, but it opens beautifully to a mix of ripe cherry fruit, rhubarb, strawberry, dry earth and a very mild menthol note. A sweet oak note comes forward in the mouthwatering finish. Platinum award winner at San Diego International Wine Competition.
