Solaire Pinot Noir 2008 and Red Snapper Smoothered in Black Bean Salsa

Solaire Pinot Noir is from Robert Mondavi. I picked this bottle up at a fundraiser when Waggin Tails Dog Rescue had a wine tasting night. This is a pretty simple Pinot. The aroma is pretty much like the taste. It has a big sweet red cherry taste and a light raspberry note. This is a good wine for lighter fare foods and a milder cigar. This bottle is usually under $15.00 a bottle.
