twitterSavvy wine buys: ‘00 Acacia Pinot Noir
Wednesday, July 3, 2002 | 8:26 a.m.
California has been somewhat whipsawed with regard to the difficult, but highly sought after grape varietal Pinot Noir. Napa Valley real estate is quite high, so it isn't easy to produce quality wines there at low prices. The other rub is that until recently, Pinot just hasn't done that well in and around Napa. It's different now, as proved by this sensibly priced stunner from the fabled Carneros area. This wine has a dark color and an unusual sweetness for a Pinot, lots of toasty oak and notes of burnt toffee. It's ready to drink now.
Available at Lee's Discount Liquors and Marche Bacchus, $25.99.
