2008 Lucky Star Pinot Noir – $9

Sourced from all over California, though primarily from the North and Central Coast, this is 91% Pinot Noir, 6% Syrah and 3% who knows? Stainless steel fermentation, with maybe a a few oak chips tossed in for flavoring. A combination of grapes grown in warm and cool temperatures to blend both styles of Pinot Noir.

Lucky Star Pinot Noir is kind of like biting into a fresh juicy raspberry.  It has raspberry and cherry flavors throughout with soft tannins that give you a wonderfully silky finish with just a hint of chocolate.  What a great value!

Not really a food Pinot Noir, more of a sharing a glass with a friend on a summers evening kind of Pinot.
