We had this 2007 McCall Pinot Noir with mushroom and prosciutto stuffed deboned breast of chicken. The color was a sparkling ruby in the glass, with flavors of red berries that went deliciously with the meal. We feel that a Pinot Noir from Long Island is truly an accomplishment. The back of the bottle mentions that September 2007 was the beginning of a beautiful Indian summer. They don't call Pinot Noir the "heart break grape" for no reason. Weather that is perfect for the early ripening Pinot Noir grape is difficult to come by in the Northeast. Our recent Septembers have been wetter than normal, most notably in 2011, when Hurricane Irene came into the area dumping huge amounts of rain, which is the nemesis of Pinot Noir. So, this bottle, which is made from 100% Estate grown and hand selected grapes reflects the McCall's vision of crafting very special wines.
