Bloomer Creek Pinot Noir

Please reference the previous post to this, Trends Meet Finger Lakes Wines, on this 2006 vintage Pinot Noir. And continuing the tasting notes on this wine, I find intense bouquet of cherry syrup and some pepper. The ripe fruit on the tongue, while there, is not overwhelming as it might seem from the bouquet. To clarify, there seems to be no residual sugar content, and the winemaker created a perfect balance with his methods from the barrel time. It is silky, and will pair well with traditional dark chocolate truffles that are dusted with cocoa powder. The wine label states that pan seared duck would be appropriate. I would agree with that assessment, but would also recommend an authentic mole poblano. VERY VERY GOOD
