2003 Bearboat Pinot Noir

[hotwine]

This product of the Russian River Valley was surprising for the price. Nice nose of red fruit on a spice floor, opening to raspberries and strawberries on the palate with a touch of red currants, good finish of red fruits and a lip-smacking bitter candy. 13.5% alc/vol and about $13.50 per. As good a PN at that price point that I've found. With grilled chicken, gumbo and yellow squash. The wine and the gumbo both ran out much too soon.
