About the Wine: 2009 was a great year for California Pinot Noir and MacMurray is a very reliable maker. This is basically going to be an exercise in noting the specifics of the wine and making sure it has not gone bad with age rather than assessing its value.
About THIS Wine: The purple center fades to a pink rim, fairly dark for a Pinot Noir. The nose is thick and musky with lots of rhubarb and hints of clove. The palate is bold with lots of blackberry and meaty flavor reminiscent of steak sauce leading into a spicy finish.
Drinking This Wine: This would work well as a sipping wine but I think it would be excellent with pork steak.
Overall Impression: I'm happy with the wine and the price is reasonable for the quality. This one is good for the price.
