2008 Matanzas Creek Winery Bennett Valley Sonoma County Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $24. Matanzas Creek has been quietly producing Pinot Noir for many years. · Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. Darker berries and cherries, modestly oaked, are offered in a medium intensity style with soft tannins and a sour cherry finish. More oak-driven the next day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Drink now. Decent. Reviewed November 2, 2011 ARTICLE »
