Cuvée Anne-Laure
Vin D’Alsace Pinot Noir 2007
Color- The color of this wine reminds me of church stained glass as it filters through the red glass. The red has slight orangish additions to the color.
Smell- This wine has a light sweet scent. It is clean and fresh. You can smell slight violet and herbal underscents (like sassafrass, and caraway).
Taste- The wine had a slight cherry like flavor which was only enhanced by the rich oak taste that followed the cherry. The cherry and oak offered additional complexities and richness to this like and refreshing wine. The wine is followed by a slight bitter and dry aftertaste, which I enjoyed. The wine is so light and fresh that the bitterness only led to an authentic taste for me.
Feeling- This wine will have fans in all types of crowds. It would be an excellent wine to bring to a dinner party or picnic.

Color- The color is bright and light, resembling cranberry red, with the slightest hint of orange around the edges.
Smell- The wine has a slight plum and raspberry scent. If you smell quickly and further back you can detect distinct strawberry and orange notes.
Taste- The taste of this wine is light and pleasant, only a hint of tannins present, with a slight vanilla aftertaste. This wine was a delight to drink, I really was presently suprised and pleased.
Feel- This wine has an excellent feel on the tongue and in the atmosphere, from it’s color to it’s beautiful smell.
