Pinot Noir

Montinore Estate 2006 (about $17): Lots of nice, bright cherry and strawberry flavors and perhaps a touch of chocolate on the finish highlight this lovely wine from Oregon’s Willamette Valley.

With a fairly high alcohol content for this varietal (13.8%), and a bit more body and flavor intensity than most, this is a Pinot that you can really sink your teeth into. Try it with baked salmon for an exquisite food/wine pairing.
