Kathys Pic of the Week

Sinor-LaVallee 2007 Pinot Noir Anniversary Cuvee

This deep, layered Pinot is ripe, rich, full-bodied, and perfectly balanced. An array of blackberries, earthy plums, and exotic spice aromas and flavors made it a standout for me. Made in celebration of winemaker Mike Sinor and his wife Cheri LaVallee’s 1996 marriage in Burgundy, it’s great for your any celebration. Quite wonderful on its own but this special Pinot was meant to enhance great meals. Try it with grilled ahi with ginger/black bean sauce, filet mignon with mushrooms, or pork tenderloin with pomegranate sauce. Highly limited but it’s still available, only through Sinor’s website at sinorlavallee.com.
