Cuvaison 2005 Pinot Noir Carneros.

Check your local wine store and if they don't have it you can get it direct from the winery for $30/bottle.

Oh yeah.

I had this tonight with a nice fresh caprese salad, plus some prosciutto & mushroom ravioli in vodka sauce.

Damn tasty wine. Complex flavor without making you all sleepy like a cabernet. But I wouldn't drink it with steak, not heavy enough.

Anyway I am not qualified to describe its fruity/oaky/whatever-other-wine-snob-adjective qualities because I have not yet developed the proper vocabulary. But it's fucking good.
