\u00a0It&#8217;s been said that Pinots have the broadest range of noses and palate qualities of any wine. \u00a0It&#8217;s also been said that if you happen to fancy Pinot Noir, that you&#8217;ve come to have one of the most expensive habits that wine can bring to an addict of its kind. \u00a0It&#8217;s an elusive habit; always trying to chase that first high of finding the Pinot that fulfills your every need; deep and rich, layered and complex, light and fruity, gritty and earthy; whatever it is that fits your fix.<\/p>\n<p>So, here we are, finding ourselves with an open bottle of &#8217;07 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scheidvineyards.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Scheid Vineyards <\/a>Pinot Noir, made from grapes grown in their Estate Vineyards in <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Monterey, California\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=36.6002777778,-121.894722222&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=36.6002777778,-121.894722222 (Monterey%2C%20California)&amp;t=h\" rel=\"geolocation\">Monterey, California<\/a>. \u00a0This area of northern Monterey County is known for their cool breezes and foggy mornings. \u00a0Pinot grapes like this climate and tend to thrive in a climate that isn&#8217;t harsh or dramatic. \u00a0It creates the perfect environment for a wine that showcases the inherent qualities of the grape; layers of delicate flavors and subtle fruit. \u00a0We&#8217;ve heard winemakers say things like &#8220;Pinot Noir is the most fickle grape&#8221; or &#8220;Pinot Noir can be the most difficult wine to make&#8221;. \u00a0What this means is that finding &#8220;your&#8221; Pinot is a never ending and challenging task. \u00a0Somebody has to do it, why not you and me?<\/p>\n<p>This Scheid Pinot Noir characterizes the typical qualities that one can find in a Pinot; light, smoky, fruity, with a delightfully brown edge of color and an ever-changing palate. \u00a0We sort of agreed on the nose and the palate, yet we both found different qualities. \u00a0This is the pleasant dilemma that a Pinot-phile will encounter on any given day.<\/p>\n<p>The end all be all is that this wine was good! \u00a0We both liked it, for similar and yet different reasons. \u00a0We&#8217;d like to thank our good friend, Justin for sharing this bottle of goodness with us! \u00a0Cheers!!!<\/p>\n<p>[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=j2NpY1Ql1ZI[\/youtube]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;height: 15px\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none;float: right\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_a.png?x-id=336201be-c170-44bc-b720-36f86f2a9ac9\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there ever was a complicated and intriguing wine, it&#8217;s Pinot Noir!
