The Winery: MacMurray Ranch
The Wine: 2006 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
The Price: $21.99 at QFC (on sale - regular price is $29.99)
Just when I notice a trend in corks, along comes MacMurray Ranch to be the exception. In my last review I commented that I noticed that wines from Spain tend to have corks that are less tight in the bottle than wines from the U.S., but the MacMurray cork was more like the wines from Spain than domestic wines.
It bears pointing out that MacMurray Ranch offers two 2006 Pinot Noirs - this one and the Central Coast. The Central Coast Pinot Noir was $8 less than the Sonoma Coast. So if you decide to try the MacMurray Ranch based on this review, make sure you get the correct wine.
The wine is a dark ruby color, which is pretty much how all of my Pinot Noir reviews start.
The wine has aromas of cherries, berries and a hint of vanilla. It has a very rich, smooth scent.
It has flavors of dried cherries, plums and blackberries with a very subtle vanilla finish.
This wine is absolutely delicious. MacMurray Ranch really did an excellent job with this wine. For the money, this wine is a great value, particularly while it's on sale.
