Vampire Pinot Noir 2008...Scare Up Some Fun!

Vampire Pinot Noir 2008 $9.99

Purchase at AllStar Wine http://www.allstarwine.com/product-exec/product_id/9327/nm/Vampire_Pinot_Noir_2008/category_id/7

Powerful forest fruit and wild strawberry aromas persist on the nose, balanced by hints of fine French oak. The vibrant ruby red colors hint at a young wine, but the taste reveals a remarkable maturity. Elegant soft fruit flavors are already finely integrated into the structure of the wine, as is the oak, adding a subtle but powerful complexity to the flavor. This is a light smooth wine, easy to drink at any time of the year and exhibiting typical character of a young Pinot Noir.This wine has been made for early drinking using advance cold macceration techniques, but will age well for several years to come. It has a 100% malolactic fermentation - allowing the perfect integration of the natural acides into the structure of the wine.Vampire Pinot Noir is well suited to Venison and game dishes, and is equally well adapted to pasta dishes featuring basil and tomato sauces. It can also be enjoyed as an aperitif or as an after dinner wine with snacks and blue cheeses.

(From Vampire Vineyards http://www.vampirewine.com/files/vampire_pinot_noir.php )

All Star is proud to also carry Vampires other varieties, such as Vampire Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 and Vampire Pinot Grigio 2008. Visit allstarwine.com and take a bite out of a Vampire! Vampire wine that is! A hauntingly good time will be had by all!
