Saint Clair Vicar's Choice Pinot Noir - 2008 - $17




Jessica: This pinot was a medium pink in color, similar to a rose. Seemed almost like a watered down version of the more full-bodied variety I prefer. It seems like it would do well while sitting outside in the sun on a summer day, but less so hitting the mark on a mid-march evening. Light in composition with raspberry and strawberry fruits, tart, no tannins evident. A hint of an herb, maybe thyme or lavender is present.
Score: 3.8/5

David: A pinot from Marlborough, New Zealand. Light brick red with tints of orange. A typical pinot, cherry nose. Decent acidity. Bright strawberry and cherry flavors. Fun to swish around in the mouth. Silky tannins and a pleasant finish. Better served a bit chilled.
Score: 3.9
