  Cedar, red jam, and graphite make up the nose of this Pinot. Moderate tannins on the palate. It is decent and fairly smooth if you decant it.

  The 2005 vintage began with cool, wet weather that slightly
  delayed bud break and bloom. A mild summer further slowed
  the season. After a minor heat spike in August, cool weather
  resumed with no temperatures over 100°F. The longer-thannormal
  interval between veraison and harvest gave true hang
  time. Hillside estate vines were picked from October 3-6,
  and harvest concluded on October 13. The vintage was late
  but orderly, yielding excellent sugar/acid balance, moderate
  alcohols and wines of depth and complexity.
  
  Tasting Notes
  This elegant Pinot Noir displays deeply scented black cherry and blackberry aromas with background notes of oak spice and cocoa. The palate is viscous and silky, carrying ample black plum and berry flavors with a touch of forest floor and cinnamon lingering on a deftly structured finish.
