FAT bastard Pinot Noir 2007


The Wine
Region: Primarily from the Herault region of France, with some grapes coming from the island of Corsica.
Vineyards: Vin de Pays Vignobles de France
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Oak: Not oak at all, but stainless steel tanks.
Price: $10.

Tasting Notes
 Look: Ruby red.
Smell: Big and bold.
Attack: Uhm... it was good. Bold, smooth, dry.
Evolution: Mostly berries.
Finish: Full-bodied, delicious, left us wanting more.


We had it with dinner, which was pork seasoned with garlic salt, coriander, paprika and chili power and mashed potatoes and corn.  Overall, the wine was very good, and the price tag was completely reasonable.  I would buy it again.
