From the bottle:
“A California native, inspired by the land, sun and sea. Swami Pinot Noir is exotic and earthy, fruit-forward and approachable.
14.5% Alcohol”
The 2009 Swami Winery Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir begins with very pleasant aromas of ripe and even a bit candied cherry, spice, cedar and cola. The wine needs some air to open up and when it does it is really fantastic: earthy and fruity all at the same time with a great spicy streak. Lots of tart cherry fruit is wrapped up in a nice round and almost creamy mouthfeel in this medium-bodied wine. It ends with notes of toasty oak and even a hint of chocolate on the medium-long finish. Another excellent Pinot Noir option for all your holiday meals!
