Navarro Pinot Noir 2001

Navarro is an Anderson Valley/Mendocino winemaker, lovely, carefully made wines. Their Gewurztraminer is to die for. This Pinot Noir has a sprightly little zip on the tongue and a smokiness that is reminiscent of a young Burgundy, perhaps a Morgon. Apples in the foretaste, toasty/dusty in the middle, berries and slight carbonation in the aftertaste, then a tannin aftertaste. Very smooth, and it went well with the dinner of salmon, spinach with roasted peppers, and … tater tots!
