Pinot Noir – 2009; Stone House Vineyards; Spicewood, Texas


A blast from the past, yes!  It’s always a pleasure to pull out a bottle from a winery when it first opened.  It’s like seeing the first drawings of an artist, only to be revealed later down the road.  The fruit from this first Pinot Noir from Stone House was sourced from the Adelaide Hills region of Australia.  One can still discern hints of spice and raspberries on the first swirl. The color has also held well for its age. You would not notice any degradation. It has a light bodied texture with moderate acidity.  The finish is clean and rather short.  This lovely red Pinot Noir has cellared well and still holds a good amount of its flavor.  This bottle can be enjoyed with your favorite lightly seasoned dish or alone. Let this beautiful red wine delight you and help you enjoy the transition the seasons.
