Tasting notes
The medium ruby-tinged 2004 Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard possesses sweet, complex notes of forest floor, black cherries, raspberries, and currants. It reveals the creamiest texture as well as the finest follow through from the attack, mid-palate, and finish. By Pisoni’s standards, it’s more delicate and elegant than usual, and should provide plenty of pleasure over the next 3-4 years. Tel. (707) 265-7700

Good deep red-ruby. Cool, restrained aromas of crushed blueberry and Oriental spices. Fat, broad and sweet, with a distinctly dark fruit character. Wonderfully silky and smooth pinot with great mouth feel. Finishes broad and round, with thoroughly ripe tannins. I'd drink this over the next couple of years as it's already quite expressive.
