UPC/EIN Code : 6 91136 11122 9
 

Ripe dark fruits with a raspberry leaf lift complimented by subtle spice and savory notes. A mouth filling medium-bodied Pinot Noir with a palate showing black currant and black cherry with hints of ripe raspberry and redcurrant. This wine has a soft, full palate, well balanced acidity and supple tannins. A well integrated mixture of new and older French oak provides rich, savory notes on the palate with a full, persistent finish. This wine is well matched with barbecued lamb, strongly flavored fish or authentic Italian pasta with meat sauces.


(Check to print this review) 87 Points  Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, October 2010 "Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, Saint Clair’s 2009 Pinot Noir has intense cranberry, raspberry and dried herb aromas with a whiff of moss covered logs. Medium to full bodied with a medium level of finely grained tannins, good concentration of juicy berry fruit and refreshing acid, the finish is long and cherry-laced. Drinking now it should keep to 2014."
