2005 Portalupi Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.3% alc., $38. I really liked this wine upon release but this revisit was not as special (oh, the vagaries
of Pinot Noir).

Cherry and cranberry perfume leading to cherry flavors enhanced by deft oak. A decent wine which is well-made, but I can’t go ga-ga over it.
