Wine: Frei Brothers, 2005 Reserve Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, California
Alcohol Content: 13.8%
Price: $25
Pairs Fabulously With: A fresh spinach salad and raspberry vinaigrette and roasted pork medallions with cherry sauce.
Risqué always enjoys the opportunity to indulge in two brothers, especially at once—and the Frei Brothers provided just that! …Quenching Risqué's relentless thirst for a fabulous bottle of wine, of course.
The wine is a lush, brick-red color, offering aluring scents of spice, fresh rose, deep black cherry, hints of raspberry ending with innuendos of vanilla. The well-endowed tastes are principally of cherries and violets, deep, smoky oak, and lush, dark plum with a long, lingering finish, nice balance and a very pleasant mouth feel.
With one brother in his right hand and the other in his left, Risqué would say, "Délicatement équilibré."
