Alexander Valley Vineyards Wetzel Pinot Noir

Published on March 31st, 2010 in Darryl Beeson's Review, Wine review

Alexander

Visualize earthy black cherry, blackberry and serious complexity. In the mouth, there is a gripping red fruit spectrum, black cherry again, perhaps a Burgundy earthy/leather complexity.

This spectacular Pinot Noir may be one of the best bargains from California. The Alexander Valley Vineyards Pinot Noir would pair nicely with veal in a piquant sauce or with venison (or other wild game).

This winery, constructed in 1975, has always had a reputation for successful big reds. Their subtle reds, such as Pinot Noir, are important as well.
