...after a holiday break, our monthly wine tasting group got together again.
There were five of us and we tasted 6 different pinot noirs.
All of the wines were pretty good but a couple stood out.
Meiomi 2010 $24 (Safeway) rated third place but was a little different than the others. It had a slightly fuller body, a strong vanilla note and its ripe fruit reminded me a little of port. Went well with the dark chocolate we had for desert.
La Crema 2009 $20 (everywhere) was the top scorer with 7 points (three first places and two seconds) - a surprise but well balanced with nice fruit. Highly recommended.
