Kathy's Pick
Sinor-LaVallee 2004 Pinot Noir Arroyo Grande Valley Talley-Rincon Vineyard
By KATHY MARCKS HARDESTY
A hot new brand on the Central Coast, this beautifully crafted wine is made by winemaker Mike Sinor and his life partner Cheri LaVallee. After five years as winemaker at Domaine Alfred in Edna Valley, Sinor's concentrating his efforts on making Pinots that exemplify the best of Arroyo Grande Valley. Infused with aromas and flavors of bright raspberry, strawberry, tangy red cherry, and ripe black cherry, it's highlighted with intriguing notes of minerals, spice, and cola. Well balanced and silky textured, the fruity finish lingers long and fresh, making another sip impossible to resist. For Sinor, the finest wines offer "quality, intimacy, and authenticity," and that's what he's bottled. I still can't believe he priced this amazing Pinot at $35 retail. It's worth much more. Available online at www.sinorlavallee.com, at the Park Restaurant, and Great Gatsby's in Arroyo Grande.
