2001 Steele Sangiacomo Vineyard ‘Carneros’
Pinot Noir
Score: 86
I had this wine at Kres Steakhouse, which I will review in a moment with scallops and steak. The wine was served by the glass for a very reasonable $11 a glass. Smoky with the signature cherry and currant flavors you would expect from a Pinot. The pairing was wonderful as it brought out the steak and vegetables, but did not overwhelm the scallops. Nice finish, not too lingering, again a good thing considering the delicate nature of the scallops.
