Concannon 2005 Pinot Noir Central Coast, Limited Release
Risqué was having a little Soiree with about 20 of his closest Amours… sadly mostly Chardonnay sippers. Attempting to lure them to the dark side Risqué poured this Concannon 2005 Pinot Noir Limited Release from the Central Coast. Expecting something very plain at $7 per bottle… Risqué and guests were pleasantly surprised. If this was a man… we’d call him firm, not flabby, not built, but firm.. 
It’s medium body and plumy color offers a nose of Cherries, Pomegranate, Leather and Spice. On the tongue… this is simply Pinot… not enormously complex but offering plenty of ripe Bing Cherry, Raspberry, cola and nice mellow spice and vanilla.
All the Mary’s were thrilled as Risqué served this with a lovely Smoked Herbed Boneless Leg of New Zealand Lamb and Chardonnay Butter basted Cedar Planked fresh Wild Salmon all with Grilled Asparagus. This Pinot was a deliciously good value.
13.9% Alcohol $7
