2006 Kastania Vineyards Sonoma Coast Estate Pinot Noir
14.6% alc., 351 cases, $35. · Both 2006 bottlings are light garnet in color. The aromas of wild berries, especially strawberries draw you in and there is a little barnyard for interest. Tasty red berry including cranberry flavors with lively acidity and a razor sharp finish. Medium-weighted with reigned-in oak and gossamer tannins. Reviewed May 7, 2008
Winery: Kastania Vineyards
