| 2007 Suacci Carciere Wines Pinot Noir "Suacci Vineyard" Winery: Suacci Carciere Wines Vintage: 2007 Wine Name/Vineyard: "Suacci Vineyard" Wine Category: Pinot Noir Grape blend: 100% Pinot Noir Region: Russian River Valley State or country: CA Price: $48 Cases produced: 175 KWG Score: 86.5 (based on 2 reviews) Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good (89) Review date: August 9, 2009 Wine Review: This small production wine was a pleasant discovery for me at a recent tasting of single vineyard Russian River Pinot Noirs. It was a brilliant dark ruby color and opens with a smoky fireplace like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, nicely balanced, and smooth. The flavor profile is a smoky black raspberry with notes of old oak. The finish is dry and its well managed moderate tannins linger nicely. This Old World styled Pinot would pair very nicely with a NY strip steak. Enjoy - Ken Winemaker Notes: In 2007 the fruit ripened to perfection, and we are seeing the results of a young vineyard establishing itself. The Suacci vineyard is starting to shed its baby fat and the resulting wine from the Suacci Vineyard is bolder and more complex with a nice richness while maintaining its petite, crisp stature. On the nose the wine displays the hallmark Suacci flavors: herbs, pomegranate, raspberry and earth, but the mouthfeel is lush and powerful. It should be a great hearty dish match, or a great wine to be enjoyed on its own. Organic status: not organic Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Suacci Carciere 2007 Suacci Vineyard Pinot Noir.
