After a rainy day of watching college bowl games, we opened this earthy Pinot Noir from MacMurray Ranch. I remembered trying this wine and liking it at one of the Friday night wine tastings at Ed's Fine Wines. We drank this wine with dinner -- cheese tortellini with red sauce. It went well with the dinner, but really got better and better throughout the night as it opened up and some of the oak blew off. Next time, I will definitely decant this one for an hour or so.
The nose was dark red fruits and earth. The taste was mostly strawberry and cherry, with a nice long finish. It was very smooth and well balanced....This was our first Pinot Noir in quite a long time, and we really enjoyed it and would definitely buy it again.
