Description:
TASTING NOTESImpressions of ripe red fruit prevail in the aromas of the 2005 Pinot Meunier, while suggestions of fragrant clover honey anddried flowers linger and add complexity. Flavors of sweet strawberry and cherry are complemented nicely by tart raspberryand lively pomegranate. The wine’s juiciness is balanced by pleasing acidity and well framed by supple tannins. Smooth andround on the palate, this easy drinking, medium-bodied Meunier will pair well with lighter fare including charcuterie,roasted poultry, grilled salmon and even a fruit-based dessert such as cranberry compote or a rhubarb tart. Ready to drinknow, it will certainly improve over the next 12 months and age well for 3-4 years.
