2005 Sonoma County Pinot Noir

The fresh aromas of ripe Bing cherries, toasted vanilla beans, wild berry fruits with a hint of smoky bacon, herbs and rose petal open up immediately in your glass. This medium bodied wine shows true pinot flavors of cherries, raspberry, cola, thyme, violets and roasted vanilla beans. A blend of vineyards primarily from the Russian River Valley, the wine finishes clean and long with a sweet note of cherry at the end. A balanced wine to consume while patiently waiting for the vineyard designates to mature.
