Late Summer Sipping: Wines for Lazy Summer Days

MacMurray Ranch Central Coast Pinot Noir

Vintage: 2007
State or Country: California
Price: $15

I took this bottle along to a dinner with friends and we all found it to be the perfect accompaniment to our feast of grilled salmon, roasted potatoes, and sauteed spinach. Although it's hard to go wrong with a Pinot Noir, this particular variety really stood out. It showcased a blend of cherry, cola, and vanilla flavors. This wine was so delicious it was hard to believe that it only retails for $14.99. Overall, a great choice that I know my friends and I will bring to our dinner parties again!
