Matello Hommage a'A&D Pinot Noir 2008 vintage
visuals: deep beet juice. Definitely the fat girl of pinot noirs.
sniffings: burned rubber and vanilla raspberry extract
palate: light, rubbery, raspberry syrup and surprisingly acidic cranberries with a creamed blueberry finish; a highly recommended dinner wine if you're in the mood to splurge on a $25 bottle.
pair with: grilled lamb, roasted beets, and grape tomato / mushroom couscous.
for roasted beet salad: once the oven has reached 400°, toss quartered beets and shallots in olive oil, salt and pepper. loosely wrap in poil and roast for 35 minures, adding chopped asparagus 5-10 minutes before roasting is complete. serve topped with paresan reggiano.
