WineWrights, Monterey (California) Pinot Noir 2010

Mar 21, 2012

By Michael Franz

 Inexpensive Pinot Noir is a famously dicey category, and yet this wine is a shining exception to that rule.  It isn’t terribly complex, and there’s an overt sweetness to the wine, yet it is an endearing sweetness with a strongly vinous character–as opposed to the candied character that can mar wines in this style.  Pair with poultry or port prepared with a spicy rub and this will shine. Platinum award winner at the San Diego International Wine Competition.
