Carneros Creek Winery Pinot Noir |
2004 Carneros Reserve Pinot Noir Carneros
Dark ruby in color, the wine shows lush, ripe red cherry aromas with subtle spice and oak in the background. A velvety texture up front, with subtle French oak leads to dark cherry and plum flavors in the finish. Overall, the wine has a sense of ripe fruit plushness with a well defined tannin structure beneath that lends a hint of flint or stone on the palate. Extended time in barrel has integrated the wine, which is drinking nicely now, and will continue to evolve for three or so years to come. |
