2007 Belle Glos Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

[newsguy]

had a bottle of '08 Belle Glos Meiomi Pinot Noir last night. because the planned wine to go with our main course was cooked ('94 BV tapestry - bummer!), i popped this pinot cause i only had 3 bottles to choose from. wine was a little overpowered by the N.Y. strips with an awesome red wine reduction glaze (includes butter, shallots, garlic, horseradish, honey, bleu cheese crumbles, salt and pepper) with 'shrooms.

very nice wine. it's a cuvee that's mostly (60-plus percent) sonoma coast, plus juice from santa barbara and i think monterey. pretty red fruits, plus earth, spice and a touch of smoke. silky mouthfeel yet good acidity for food (almost stood up to those monster steaks). think i paid $26 for the bottle. 89 points.

WW: Meiomi is made by Belle Glos, which is a Joe Wagner (Caymus) operation.
