I have always believed that the Pinots that come out of the RRV are extremely fruit forward and not as " earthy" as those from other regions. I'm not saying that this is a negative in any way. I go 50/50 back and forth between the style of Pinots that I like to drink. This 07 Fritz is an outstanding wine that any pinot lover will enjoy. The nose is filled with cranberries and Shasta blackberry-vanilla soda. Upon the first swirl of the glass I got excited and could not wait to try the first sip. I was not disappointed what so ever. Ripe black cherries, cola and Christmas spices came to life. The tannins were present and pleasant and perfect after 11 months in oak....This bottle averages $30 dollars, but I got mine at Green's in Columbia, SC for a nice sale price of $18. I like this wine at $30, but love it at $18. Pick up a bottle or two and serve over the holidays to impress your guests.I rate this wine 8.75 BigBecks out of 10.
