Tasting notes
From a high yielding year, the 2005 is evolved and fully mature. Stunning aromatics of pomegranate, black cherries, porcini mushrooms and jus de viande are enticing and evolved. In the mouth, the wine is medium to full-bodied (15.5% alcohol) with sweet, velvety tannins. Drink this round, delicious 2005 Pinot Noir now and over the next 5-7 years.

Pale red. Exotic head shop aromas suggest red fruits, bayberry, cinnamon and patchouli, with a suave blood orange character building with air. Spicy redcurrant and strawberry flavors are seductively perfumed and pure, with dusty minerality contributing grip and focus. Reminds me of a top Dujac wine with its heady bouquet, sharply focused red berry flavors and silky texture.
