Airlie Pinot Noir 2005

Picked this up on discount, $10/btl. It usually goes for around $18. It's pretty solid, especially since I picked it up for a 10-spot. Low in alcohol: 12.8%, which you don't see too often, even in pinots these days.

Some nice cherry aromas, surrounded by enough hints of clove/spice. I like it and I'm not crazy about pinots. It paired nicely with my mashed potatoes and skillet chicken with bacon. The finish is a little lacking, but I think for the price the nice nose makes up for it in my book. If you can find it for around $15-16 on sale I would give it a run. It's a good Tuesday night pinot. Won't break the bank like so many of them can and will play well with whatever meal you've got going on in the kitchen.
