2007 Cricklewood Pinot Noir
Grape Variety: Pinot Noir
Region: Sonoma County, California
Food pairing: Grilled Maple-Glazed Salmon
From the moment the grapes started rolling in to the winemaking facilities, those in the industry
knew that the 2007 vintage was going to be a good one in Sonoma County. Yields were down, but quality was definitively up, so while less wine may be available, what we can get our hands on is exceptionally good. "The good news," said one winery's General Manager, "is that we are extremely pleased with the quality of the 2007 harvest. Berry size was small, smaller than we have seen in more than 10 years, and the fruit developed intense varietal flavors with rich, mouth-filling tannins." It shows in bottlings like this one, the 2007 Cricklewood Pinot Noir. Perfectly ripe cherry-like fruit and a nice balance of acidity and tannins make this a quality Pinot Noir rarely found under $20.More info: http://www.garyswine.com/fine_wine/california/08908.html
