2010 Irony Monterey County Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $10-$12.
·
Moderate color trending toward purple in the glass. Enticing aroma of
dark berry jam with a hint of oak. Very tasty core of blackberries,
boysenberries and fruit leather with a complimentary underpinning of
oak. A very charming wine with a rich mouth feel and impressive
finishing strength and length. Still excellent the next day from a
previously opened and re-corked bottle. Very good.

2005 Irony Monterey County Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., 30,000 cases, $15.
The grapes were sourced primarily from the owners’ San Bernabe
Vineyard which is planted to both Dijon clones 115, 667 and 777 and
California heritage clones. The wine was barrel-aged for 9 months in a
combination of French and American Oak, both new and used.
Presented in a heavy, Burgundian-styled bottle.
·
This lovely wine draws
you in with alluring aromas of cherry compote, mint and roses. Medium bodied,
the wine is light on its feet with satisfying flavors of wild
strawberries, raspberries and rhubarb. There is judicious oak, soft tannins and a nice clean finish. A very
good daily drinker that will please even hard-core pinotphiles.
