A Bit Pricier Collection



A Collection of Three

A few months back, we had a chance over the course of several weeks to try a few older vintages of more expensive wines.

Pali 2007 Pinot Noir:
From Santa Barbera, this offers the fruit you might expect from a Californian wine, but at the same time, also shows refined eloquence.  This is a Pinot, which can go comfortably with a wide range of foods and occassions.

Il Pareto 2003 Nozzoli:
The Tuscan, almost 10 years old, highlights aged Italian red characteristics of dark fruit swirling into tobacco and leather.  I would recommend this with grilled meat and other hearty food.

Louis Jadot 2005 Santenay "Clos De Malte":
The Burgundian Pinot Noir struck a nice balance between fruit and earth tones.  While not a complete standout, it is a good example of French Pinot in the mid $20 price range
