Had this Burgundy at a dinner party hosted by my father in Quebec, Canada.  Hoping this wine is available in the USA as it’s a pretty nice example of French Pinot Noir at a very affordable price.

On the nose is a light fruity, fresh aroma.  On the palate is the typical black cherry, but unlike other Burgundies in this price point, there’s elegance, balance and a nice level of acidity with the 2007 Albert Bichot Pinot Noir.

Around $17.

Was given this wine as a birthday present and really enjoyed it.  This wine is a gorgeous, dark ruby color in the glass.  It’s simply pure velvety silkiness with tons of ripe cherries and a hint of vanilla.  Good wine on its own, but especially great with food.  Served this with roast chicken and it was stellar.

Around $32.

This wine personifies Russian River Pinot Noir.  The 2007 Signaterra Pinot Noir shows a perfect marriage of fruit and spice, soft tannins and velvety mouthfeel.
