Chateau Margene Pinot Noir 2006

PASO ROBLES | CALIFORNIA | $48
Soft raspberry and strawberry with savory flavors of cedar, tobacco and coriander, plus hints of rhubarb and chalk. Light-medium bodied, complex and well integrated with refreshing acidity and a lingering finish. Lots of flavorful mid-notes here to chew on, and visually stunning, too, with exceptional clarity and a gorgeous garnet color. Beauty and substance, substance and beauty — she’s the perfect girl to bring home to mom. A very good wine. (Reviewed 1/18/14)
