2005 Griffin's Lair Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
Our 2005 Griffin's Lair Pinot Noir expresses the characteristic qualities of smoke and leather from this Sonoma Coast site along with bright fruit and savory accents. The smoke and leather on the nose mingle with red fruit and a light layer of dusty earth. The palate starts with mainly raspberry and some cherry, but evolves into deeper, darker fruit tones with hints of olive and meat. All of these elements are well balanced, and the combination of Swan, Pommard, and 115 clones provides layers of complexity. Supple tannins and good acidity give just enough heft to carry the fruit and earth notes through a long finish, without distracting from the prettier qualities in the wine. Ready to drink right now, but with enough structure to stand up to some time in the cellar. |
