Wine Special for May
This month we are featuring our estate grown 2007 Pinot Noir Pierre Leon at a very attractive price.
2007 Pinot Noir Pierre Leon
6-Pack for $136.80 (40% savings): $22.80/bottle or 12-Pack for $255.36
(44% savings): $21.28/bottle
(Regular Cellar Club pricing for Pierre Leon is $216.60 for a 6 pack and
$410.40 for a 12 pack.)
The 2007 Pierre Leon presents
intriguing and complex aromas, which combine black fruit with perfumed
floral tones, fennel, spice and cedar. By contrast the flavors tend at
first toward brighter red fruits like raspberry and cherry that become
sweeter through the pleasingly long finish which carries a hint of
toastiness. Juicy and satisfying, 2007 Pierre Lon will be an extremely
versatile food companion, complementing such foods as steak in a wine
reduction sauce, grilled tuna, or pork chop with mashed potatoes, grilled
Portobello mushrooms, and roasted vegetables. It will improve for the
next 2-3 years and age well for 8-10 years.
