Hahn Estates Pinot Noir Monterey 2006

The deep but muted ruby hue hints at the silky tannins of this dynamic and multi-faceted wine. The white and black pepper background aromas blend nicely with clove fragrances on the front. Every sip uncovers new flavors and textures. When given time, the wine evolves from edgy to extreme bliss with a tangy burst of fruit and spice, backed by cool-climate acidity that carries each separate flavor component on to the next sip. The structure and balanced acidity of this wine allows the flavors to hang for a moment before it finishes with a light, slow and even departure that leaves the mouth infused with fresh pomegranate flavors. 

Serve this wine with baked halibut on a bed of sauteed Swiss chard and pureed potatoes, or to bring out the spice in the wine, try it with kicked-up Pasta Arrabiata.
