Reif Estates 2007 First Growth Pinot Noir - $50.00 (W)
A Pinot made from 19 year old vines and aged 30 months in 100% new American oak (somewhere a group dead Burgundian producer are rolling over and doing back flips in their collective graves). Bottled unfiltered so its ready for ageing. Lots of smoky sour cherry on the nose with a sour cherry and spiced palate. Age three-plus years before drinking. Price: $50.00 - Rating: *** 1/2
