| Aliento Del Sol offers their 1999 Pinot Noir produced from
fruit sourced in Arroyo Seco, Monterey, at the Loma Vista
Vineyard. Showing a medium ruby core, the wine fades to a
brick rim. The nose is loaded with ripe, even jammy,
strawberry. Plenty of that strawberry aroma makes its way to
the palate, which is treated to soft tannins and fresh
acidity. The luscious body is developed and in parting the
wine lingers on the finish revealing a bit of baked rhubarb.
Tasty enough to be dessert! |
