2008 Pinot Noir Three Bottles: Flowers, Rusack, Drew Anderson Valley

Talk about three great names in Pinot to pair with a great outdoor summer casual BBQ orformaldinnerparty. Thesethreewillhaveberriesburstingfromthebottleand glass that sing out and say, “Drink me!”

The Flowers Pinot Noir grapes grown on the Sonoma Coast benefit directly from the influence of the nearby Pacific Ocean, which provides cool daytime breezes during

20bright sunny days to ensure proper ripening and chilly evening fog to guarantee lively acidity for freshness in the finished wines.

Rusack is a boutique winery in Santa Barbara County dedicated to handcrafting wines of distinction and elegance. Nestled in the beauty of Ballard Canyon between Solvang and Los Olivos, California, Rusack produces a tremendous Pinot.

And Drew, from the Anderson Valley, is produced in extremely small quantities and are available on a first-come-first served basis only from the winery.

All in all, a killer trio of Pinot.
