Ron’s Wine Pick
By Ron James
2007 Iron Horse Estate Pinot Noir ($45)
I love the newer elegant lighter-style pinots: still silky and packed with bright fruit flavors, but not overpowering to the point you need food to enjoy it. Iron Horse has produced a wonderful example of that elegance and depth, smooth and light yet showing bright rich cherry and plum fruit flavors with pinot’s trademark earthiness. The next time you’re in Sonoma don’t miss Iron Horse’s tasting room — a true delight.
