For those who love Burgundy-style Pinot Noir, this tasty, value-priced (compared to its peers) Pinot Noir is just the ticket. It offers ripe aromas and flavors of cherries and blackberries with seductive notes of blueberries, minerals, and herbs. It drinks nicely alone, but it shines with foods like braised beef, roast leg of lamb, or steak smothered in wild mushrooms. I would also choose this for a roast turkey or herbed pork roast. It’s a very good deal at only $26 at Tastes of the Valleys Pismo Beach.
