The 2007 Pinot Noir offers up a pretty core of sweet candied fruits intermingled with flowers, minerals and spices. Medium in body, the wine shows terrific balance in a feminine style. It is exceedingly difficult to make good Pinot in this price point, and in that context, the wine offers terrific balance. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. St. Michele Eppan, one of Alto Adige’s most venerable properties, is also known by its Italian name, San Michele Appiano. Importer: Martin Scott Wines, Little Neck, NY; tel. (516) 327-0808
