2007 Praxis Monterey County Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $16.
·
Surprisingly
good and very true to the varietal. Fresh berries and warm brioche on the
nose followed on the palate with delicious compote of black cherries,
blueberries and blackberries. There is a complimentary underpinning of
smoky oak. Impressive mid-palate fullness but a bit thin on the short
finish.

2006 Praxis Monterey County Pinot Noir
13.5% alc., $16. A reader has been a
fan of this wine and asked me my opinion. Praxis Cellars, owned by Bill Arbios
who also is the winemaker, produces multiple varieties from purchased fruit
throughout California. The winery is based in Sebastopol, Sonoma County. This is
the sixth vintage of Praxis Pinot Noir, the first variety bottled under the Praxis label..
·
Appealing and alluring aromas of wild strawberries, crème de cassis, herbs and
new mown hay. Decent core of redder fruits with some herbs in tow. A bit of citrus note on the finish
which is clean and bright. An easy drinker and although the wine is often placed on the lower shelves of
supermarkets, it is a respectable and user-friendly Pinot Noir ideal for everyday use.
