Cherry Pie Pinot Noir
Jayson Woodbridge, Napa Valley’s talented winemaker has done it again. First came his Hundred Acre wines which have all scored well, most in the 90’s and some as high as 100 points by Robert Parker. These are a bit pricey though, figure $200 -- $300+ a bottle (but worth every drop). Then came his Layer Cake wines which are made by the same winemakers that make the Hundred Acre. These are priced from $14 -- $25 and drink like they cost a lot more. His newest addition to the boutique wine world is the CHERRY PIE PINOT NOIRwhich just hit the East Coast – 3 bottles later I can tell you – go with the Stanley Ranch if you like a more fruit forward, cherry piei-sh, almost a cab -- type of vino. If you’re into a more terroir driven classic Pinot Noir try the Huckleberry Snodgrass. We opened one at lunch today (From The Huckleberry Vineyard) it was a bit earthy for off the bat, then over time the fruit fought its way through. But where the Huckleberry left off – 3 hours later the Stanly ranch picked up. Talk about a deep, cherry pie-ish, fruit forward vino that explodes on your pallet and leaves you with a yearning for another sip. By the time we finishes bottle 3 we put in an order for 20 cases (to start with) and have 2 tastings scheduled. One Saturday the 13th and the next Thursday the 25th. A nd Thursday we’ll have some real cherry pie to go whit the Cherry Pie… Cherry Pie Video PS you gota love the cork, it says, "Congratulations you have made the correct decision to opening this… commence having fun"
