title: La Follette 2011 Van der Kamp Vineyard Pinot Meunier (Sonoma Mountain)
description: Flavors of cherry compote, Dr. Pepper, vanilla, exotic spice and sandalwood are brightened by acidity, making this easy to mistake for a Pinot Noir. This is rich, vital and complex, so pair it with fare like roast duck or lamb. Greg La Follette has taken the lead in California in exploring the Meunier possibilities, with brilliant results. Drink now–2017.
