OC Fratello's Offline--2005 CA Pinot Noir Tasted Blind (Fratello's Laguna Niguel): Surprised me. Have not tasted anything from this winery in some time but it really showed well. Even had to add it to CellarTracker. Shows a hint of a stemmy/stalky nose--any whole cluster? Smooth blueberry based fruit, forward with minerals, some earthy notes and a long finish. The groups' second place wine of the 22 tasted.
