Fresno State Winery
Saviez Vineyards Pinot Noir
San Joaquin County, Central Valley, California, USA
This Pinot is not overoaked, and so allows more fruit to shine through. It is light bodied, with sour strawberry flavors. There is a lingering acidic tone, which, while unwelcome in a cocktail wine, works well for a food wine. We paired it successfully with a Tuscan style meatball kale soup.

Mar 11th, 2019The students of Fresno State continue to craft quality wines. This perennial favorite has soft strawberry and currant fruit, with just a hint of vanilla oak. It went well with pan-fried salmon and couscous.

Props to the students at Fresno State for this very nice California Pinot. I thought it was a bit jammy, but maybe that's your thing. I'd certainly go back for more!
