Since I'm the webmaster at Porthos, I don't normally get the chance to write the wine newsletter, but I had to ‘steal the wheel’ today and tell you about my personal favorite 2007 Sierra Madre Vineyard Pinot Noir because:
- OBSESSED is the way I feel about Sierra Madre! The 2006 vintage was my personal favorite new Pinot last year and this 2007 new release is even tastier and more complex.
- I’m a Pinot DIE HARD, I'm always looking for the best of the bunch and often pay premium prices just to taste what I hope might be the next big discovery (I've been on the Kosta Browne and Sea Smoke mailing lists for years)
- LEGENDARY vineyard: The Sierra Madre Pinots come from one of the most pedigreed vineyard sites in Santa Barbara. This outrageous fruit and big, round texture make my mouth water just typing about them. If you're a fan of voluptuous California Pinot, don’t miss this!
THE WINE INSIDERS "OUTSTANDING 94+
"This brand new Pinot Noir opens beautifully in the glass, with captivating aromas of ripe red cherry, violet, strawberry, and then launches forth with hedonistic flavors of red plums, spicy black cherry and scintilating notes of lavendar. ollow. Long on the palate, this wine offers a sleek silky, cherry-strawberry finish with lightly toasted oak. This sultry wine promises to age gracefully for 3 – 5 (peaking around 2012) years but will also perfectly enhance Salmon, Chicken, or any French triple cream cheese tonight (after decanting ½ hour).
INSIDER SCOOP:
Sierra Madre, sourced from historic vineyards, is the “Mother of all” Sexy and Sumptuous tasting Pinots under $50! This is a guaranteed thriller for anyone that adores silky smooth, bold Pinot Noir with loads of complex and extravagant fruit. |
