This was not my original choice for the wine review entry for the week. But with Greg Norman being at the top of the leader board for The British Open, I felt like I should give him another headline and review one of his wines. I had to blow the dust off of my notes for this wine since I had this bottle several months ago. But the Greg Norman 2005 Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir is an exceptional wine at a reasonable price. Once I poured it into a glass, I noticed it’s dark scarlet color. It looked more like a cab or merlot in the glass. But it was not nearly as heavy as a cab or merlot. It has aromas of strawberry, dark fruit and a hint of vanilla with some earthiness. It has a nice feel in the mouth with tastes of cherry, strawberry, and even a little spice. It has a nice smooth finish and leaves you yearning for the next sip. I got this bottle for $17.99 but it tastes more expensive. Nice job on the wine Mr. Norman and nice job on the links. I am rooting for you to win The Open Championship.Cheers!
