| 2009 Smoking Loon Pinot Noir "California" Winery: Smoking Loon Vintage: 2009 Wine Name/Vineyard: "California" Wine Category: Pinot Noir Grape blend: 100% Pinot Noir Region: California State or country: CA Price: $8 Cases produced: 145,000 KWG Score: 85.5 (based on 2 reviews) Ken's Wine Rating: Good (86) Review date: August 20, 2011 Wine Review: This dark red colored entry level Pinot is a Good and affordable option. It opens with a mild smoky oak and gentle raspberry bouquet. On the palate this wine is medium bodied, balanced, approachable, and simple. The flavor profile is a good tasting mild smoky oak and strawberry blend. The finish is dry and easy going. This Pinot is a good burger or pizza wine that is offered at a very fair price. Enjoy - Ken Winemaker Notes: Light garnet in color, fresh crushed raspberries, strawberries, and cranberries are all in the aroma of this bright, fruit-driven Pinot Noir,with a hint of cinnamon stick and spice in the background. On the palate, pomegranate and cranberry fruit have a zesty appeal, paired with the subtle, classic underbrush character that distinguishes Pinot Noir. Moderately light bodied, the soft tannins and fresh acidity strike a nice balance, creating a light finish with red fruit and a touch of spice. Try with a roast pork loin or the ever-popular Thanksgiving turkey-and-cranberry sandwich. Organic status: not organic Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Smoking Loon 2009 Pinot Noir.
