2008 Heron Wines Pinot Noir – Sonoma County, CA

Deep ruby red with ripe fruits and plum notes, this is a classic California Pinot Noir. Light, flavorful and beautifully balanced, the Heron Pinot Noir picks up on the savory flavors of the caper berries, olives and vinaigrette while being right at home with the grilled vegetables. Owner and winemaker Lealy Heron’s motto might well be “less is more,” but in my case, I just want more of this well-priced and addictive Pinot.
