Sattler St. Laurent
Description: | Traditionally we think of this grape as a sort of cross between the silky softness of Pinot Noir and the dark plunging depth of Mourvedre. The resulting wine is soft, easy to drink, and yet dark and brooding, with something of a signature note of smoke (not from charred barrels or nearby fires mind you, but from the grapes themselves). I like to recommend this wine to folks who are tired of Pinot Noir but still want something new and interesting. This particular bottling is remarkably rich and supple given the types of wines produced heretofore, which tend, like Pinot Noir, to be made in a lighter style. Flavor points for this wine are decidedly on the dark side, black cherry and plum primarily, but then that smokiness and the seemingly absent tannins make this wine both captivating and an easy drink. - Andy Hall |
