Turning Leaf 2007 Pinot Noir in a Box
I am always on the prowl for good wine buys and will give most vintage dated box wines at least one shot. The latest up for a try was the 2007 Turning Leaf Reserve Pinot Noir. This wine set me back $19.99 for a 3 liter box (4 bottles or 20 5 oz glasses). It is an Italian Pinot Noir from Provincia Di Pavia.
This is a light to light/medium bodied wine. It does have some red berry flavors, although not as intense as in most Pinot Noirs. On first taste there was a little harshness to the wine, but I found that it faded as the wine had time to breath in my glass. As a matter of fact, I found that as I drank my way through the box over the course of a week that the wine softened and the berry flavors became more pronounced. I imagine that as some air made its way into the bas during dispensing that the wine softened. My recommendation would be that you pour your first glasses of this wine a little before you drink them to let the air soften the wine a bit.
Overall I would rate this wine as good. It is a nice light red that will pair well with most food. It’s not a wine to get too worked up about or spend a lot of time contemplating. It is a good quaffing wine to go with most any meal. A good wine and a good value. It is always nice when you can find a Pinot Noir that is drinkable for under $10 a bottle…
