WINE FEATURE W. H. Smith Pinot Noir 2007
Sonoma Coast, California Capturing the flavors of the region in a bottle is the yearly motivation for this Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. The 2007 is a cuvee blended from four vineyard sources that define the profile of coastal fruit, expressing concentration, bright acidity and that heavenly Pinot Noir silkiness. Medium ruby core with a lighter rim. Ripe black cherry and wild strawberry fruit aromas all surrounded by cooler notes of wet earth and spicy cola. Very round on the entry into the mouth; smooth and silky. Hints of game surround tons of ripe strawberries.
