2005 Samantha Starr Pinot Noir

This medium bodied pinot from Monterey County is a nice solid wine. Earthy bouquet, cherries and light spice taste, with a clean finish.

Price: $20
QPR: good
Region: Monterey County, California
Pair with: I had it with beef roasted with vegetables and used a bit of the wine in the cooking liquid, the pairing worked well--earthiness of the wine matched the root vegetables. Would also work with poultry.
