St. Laurent is a grape you see in Austria and maybe a little in Germany – it’s a cool climate red that has Pinot Noir-like characteristics. The nose is loaded with sour cherry and raspberry, while on the palate there’s a nice tartness with some earthy character wihich hangs out from mid-palate to the finish. As I said, this parallels Pinto Noir but with more acid, earthier and a tad more sour … great food wine with all that acid present. Price: $20.00 – Rating: *** ½
