This wine handcrafted by Davis Bynum's winemaking team, is fashioned from grapes grown in carefully selected vineyards in the Russian River Valley. With its warm days and cool nights, this appellation is recognized as one of the premier growing regions in the world for Pinot Noir. This easy to drink wine is noted for its bountiful fruit and smooth velvety texture.
This 2005 Pinot Noir is youthful and vibrant, with a classic pinot noir nose of bright cherry and a touch of earthiness. Look for flavors of rhubarb, smoke, and caramel to add complexity. Polished tannins and good acidity create a nice balance and structure. This pinot is very food friendly. It is particularly appealing with pork, tuna, and mushrooms. Drinkable now. Best from 2007 through 2012.
