Tasting Notes

V93

Light red. Enticing, floral-accented aromas of redcurrant, dried cherry, tarragon, potpourri and smoky underbrush. Sweet and juicy but tight, with firm flavors of red berries, bitter cherry, spices and fresh herbs. Finishes with very fine tannins that avoid coming off as dry, leaving sweet red fruit, rose pastille and herbal notes behind. Seems more mellow than the regular 2005 bottling at this time last year, which gives it immediate appeal, but past experience suggests that this understated, low-fat pinot will still be cruising along two decades from now.
