Moving on...
For anyone who hasn't already noticed, I've been on an organic kick lately. Unfortunately, the choices @ the local wine shops are less than desirable. In any case, I'm making my way through the few choices they do have to offer.
While better than Stellar Organics from last week, Bonterra's 2009 Pinot Noir still didn't live up to expectations. Not bad by any means, but definitely not great either.
Bonterra website tasting notes:
This Pinot Noir has aromas of strawberry, raspberry and cola accented with hints of oak spice and vanilla. In the mouth, this wine is rich with nice soft tannins with flavors of berries, vanilla and spice that fade into a lovely long finish.
ES tasting notes:
Ripe fruit aromas of berry & plum. On the thin side, but silky with a subtle hint of vanilla & oak. Smooth lasting finish. $18.99
Again this wine was superior to the bottle from Stellar, but I was still left dissatisfied. The good news is that organic winemaking is gaining in popularity. With that said, the only direction to go from here is up. I look forward to discovering new labels of organics and reporting back to you.
If anyone has any good organic recommendations, throw them my way. If I can find it, I'll try it and be happy to share my experiences with you.
Hope you all make the most of the last day of the long weekend.
Until next time,
ES
