Toad Hollow Dry Rose of Pinot Noir 2011 (about $12)



About the Wine:  Pinot Noir is the lightest of the red noble grapes and easily the most versatile, being one of the few reds that pairs well with white meat.  One of the distinguishing features of Pinot Noir is its lighter color.  The wine is so light that it can be mistaken for a blush.  A blush made from Pinot Noir is bound to be interesting.

About THIS Wine:  The center is bright pink and the rim is clear.  Roses and red fruit make up a crisp and pleasant nose.  Raspberry, strawberry, and tart dark fruit form a pleasantly complex palate with a dry finish.

Drinking This Wine:  Too light for red meat and too heavy for unseasoned white meat.  Enjoy with spicy chicken or ham.

Overall Impression:  The wine is pleasant and the price is low.  This one is good for the price.
