2006, W.H. Smith Wines, Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

We don’t mind saying that the W.H. Smith name is becoming synonymous with award-winning Pinot Noir’s from the Sonoma Coast.  The goal for this wine every year is to capture the Sonoma Coast flavors in a bottle.  Immediately you notice the bright garnet color of the wine.  The nose flows through with violets and Bing cherries.  The wine is extremely well balanced, with notes of warm sage, cloves, cherries and strawberries dominating the palate.  The texture is classic Pinot – silky, sexy and satisfying.  This wine goes great with grilled wild salmon or a special dinner of roast pheasant.  It is also a great just to drink with a mushroom and cheese pizza.
