Purchase Patz & Hall Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2006

Good medium red. Pure, floral aromas of cherry, raspberry and blueberry; a real fruit bomb on the nose. Then juicy and pure in the mouth, with ripe acidity enlivening the wine's ripe red fruit flavors. Not especially fleshy but fresh and persistent. Made from a blend of 15 sites, most of them close to the coast. - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/Jun 08

Cheese Pairing: Swiss, Camembert

Food Pairing: Eggplant lasagna, ahi tuna
