Bottles: 1 2

The 2005 Pinot Noir Estate (two-thirds of the production in this vintage) was aged in 40% new oak. Dark ruby-colored, it has a fragrant bouquet of damp earth, toasted black cherries, and blueberry. This is followed by a concentrated wine with rich dark fruit flavors, slightly elevated acidity, and a tight personality which should evolve with 3-5 years in the bottle. It will be a long-lived Pinot that will provide pleasure through 2027.
