2006 Joseph Drouhin "Laforet" Bourgogne (red)

This is a nice, straightforward Pinot for people who want a lighter version of the varietal - and it's a good buy on occasions. I picked this up for $12 at Whole Foods and it has gone well with both a hearty stew and a rich, stuffed fish dish. Cherry up front, without too much comlexity, and a clean finish. There's a little spice in the aroma too, but nothing over the top. A good bottle for a good price. 84/100
