2008 Le Caprice Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
14.5% alc.. Sourced from Reuling Vineyard. Aged 16 months in
33% new French oak barrels and bottled unfined and unfiltered.
·
Moderately dark reddish-purple hue in the
glass. Muted aromatics with little fruit and demure scent of forest floor and ash. Full-bodied array of lovely,
dark red and black fruits which are overwhelmed by firm, sinewy tannins and smoke taint. Decent.
