Gourmets of Wine > TRAVESSIA Winery Blog: 2008 Trapeze Pinot Noir

[TRAVESSIA Winery Blog] At the winery we try to educate people that not all grapes are suited to be grown in every region and that certainly Southeastern Massachusetts is not a region where red grapes can be grown with the needed quality for a red wine, for sure not consistently year after year.  For the most part, people get the message, they understand that our growing season is too short to ripen red grapes for a red wine.

[Washington Wine Report] Washington Wine Report: Rusty Grape Vineyard 2007 Pinot Noir: The wine has an engaging nose but a palate that is heavier than expected for a Pinot. Still, there are enough good things going on that it will be interesting to see the results as the vineyard matures and Brown gains additional experience nurturing this finicky grape.

[Wine Club Guide] The Original Oregon Pinot Noir: Erath Winery | Wine Club Guide:  Iron-rich red soil, combined with warm sunshine and nourishingly damp climate make for the perfect growing conditions.  There was something magical about the 45th parallel, that imaginary line around the Earth that brought us fantastic Cotes du Rhones from France and Piedmonts from Italy.

[Lonely Grape - Wineries & Wines of Mclaren Vale] McLaren Vale Wines - Caught Red Handed « Lonely Grape - Wineries ...: As soon as I saw the label I was interested to see what was in the glass, as I had not see this blend before.  The Sauvignon Blanc is the same as the above wines and the Chardonnay also came from the Adelaide Hills (a different vineyard than the other wine).  The blend is 70% Sauvigonon Blanc with 30% Chardonnay – and the chardonnay is wooded.  As per the previous wine the nose was closed (note that the wine was not too cold).  The wooded fruit dominates the palate with hints of citrus peel and peachy melon characters.  The oak domination detracts from this wine but it may go better with food (I suspect this was Phil’s plan).

[The Wine Spies] 2007 Pedroncelli Winery & Vineyards Russian River Valley Pinot ...: The Russian River Valley in Sonoma is particularly well suited to producing exceptional Pinot Noir. This AVA was officially designated in 1983, but many of the wines in the region used the designation as early as the 1970s (early in California’s wine history) with the many of the vines having been first planted in the early 1900s.

[Wine Musings] Tzuba Winery Visit and Wine Tasting « Wine Musings: The nose on this garnet colored wine is reminiscent of a terroir based Burgundy.  The nose is hopping with rich minerals, cherry, strawberry, and a bit of sweetness like Cherry Herring.  The mouth on this medium bodied wine is rich with loamy soil, strawberry, and cherry.  The mid palate is acidic in nature, with more loamy soil, and a touch of coffee.  The finish is long with bright red fruit and spice.  Quite a nice Pinot Noir and one that I hope is exported to the US.

Of White Zinfandel I used to say, "that's not wine." But it technically is, just as Yellow Tail, Little Penguin, Three Monkeys (or any other critter-named wine) are also--despite the purists' desire to deny it--wine.
