Moshin Molinari Vineyard Pinot Noir 2006

Why Buy: A big, juicy, and distinctive single-vineyard Pinot for what seems like a bargain price.

Price : $26

Details:

Ripe, juicy, and full. The nose and mouth evoke strawberries and other bright fruit and sparkle with notes of pie spice.

Notes: The vineyard where these Dijon clone grapes are grown is on the border between the Russian River and Dry Creek Valleys.

Occasion and Pairing: Roast pork loin stuffed with spinach and feta, seasoned with rosemary and a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg. Or seared skirt steak with a pinot-pomegranate reduction, with a side of braised swiss chard or kale. Would be great for a rainy afternoon of sports spectatorship, or, if the weather is fine, for picnicking, boating, and barbequing.

State: California
