I've been somewhat absent here recently as a result of a very bad horseback accident but I'm on the mend albeit slowly and actually had a little wine last night with dinner. I've been on Dilaudid then Vicodin for the past few weeks which precluded me from any alcohol. I opened a bottle of 2007 Martinelli Moonshine Ranch (RRV) Pinot Noir last night and was very pleasantly surprised. The wine was quite dark red in the glass, with a heavy aroma of exotic spices and black cherries. Medium bodied on the palate, plenty of plummy flavors with a large dose of blueberry and black cherry. Fairly fine tannins and low acidy make this a pleasant drinker now. "B+"
