Wine: 2005 Lulu B. Pinot Noir
Review: I've written about Lulu B. wines before. It's an attempt by Lulu, the daughter of famed French winemaker Louis Bernard, to make French wines more accessible. Focusing on varietal rather than region (though it does mention Pays d'Oc on the bottle) and sporting a screw cap, this is absolutely not a traditional French wine.
The other thing that is not traditional about this wine is the price, at just under $13 this is a good everyday wine.
It is a garnet-colored wine with aromas of cherries and spices, a light wine with low tannins and a soft finish. It is a sharp contrast to the bolder American Pinot Noirs, but a very pleasant wine.
Price: $13
Grade: 85
