2011 Castle Rock Pinot Noir, California Cuvee, California

 Can't have Mardi Gras without a bowl of Gumbo, this time made with Andouille sausage. Wanted a light bodied red, and this Castle Rock pinot (Trader Joe's $8.99) did just fine.  You don't get much in the way of Pinot Noir characteristics at this price point,  but this is a pleasant, fruity, easy drinking wine.
