So today's wine is one that I've overlooked at the store for some time. With Mondavi being such a huge name in California wines and so many of them in the bargain price range I've noticed somewhat of a back lash against their wines. People are looking for the new and "cool" wines coming from Spain, South Africa and South America (myself included) and might be missing out on a fantastic value. The Mondavi Private Selection Pinot Noir 2008 really impressed me. It pours a light purple with red tint and has raspberry, cherry and wood on the nose. On the palate this is a lighter offering showing red cherry, a hint of chocolate and a dash of spice on the finish. This is an incredibly drinkable wine and great with salmon, pork, turkey or a semi soft cheese. Pick this up and see why the Mondavi vineyards have had such an impact on wine making in the United States.
