2012 Five Rivers Pinot Noir, Santa Barbara County (California)
New favorite Pinot Noir under $10! Five Rivers is made by Fetzer according to a google search. This has the smoky-dusty nose, bright cherry cola flavors, nice mouthfeel and decent finish that I look for in a Pinot. And it's from Total Wine for $7.99! The real tipoff that it was going to be a winner is the appellation: There are some very fine pinots being made in Santa Barbara County.
Now I probably won't be able to find it again...
We had it with grilled shrimp with garlic, parsley & breadcrumbs, braised fennel, haricots verts, and multigrain ciabatta.
