Turn Me Red 2005


This wine smells exactly like the sweaty undies of a cocktail waitress wearing too much strawberry perfume—not exactly off putting, and maybe a little exciting if your mind is in the right place. In the mouth the wine is nicely balanced with excellent acidity-to-fruit. Flavors are almost classic Pinot Noir with something *else* providing a racey undertow. This wine is made from Zweigelt, an Austrian hybrid of Pinot Noir and Gamay. Really good, and a great value at $15.

My score: 88 points
