2005 Dovetail Vine Hill Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
13.3% alc., 42 cases, $45. A blend of Dijon clones 9 (?) and 115. Aged 10 months in Hungarian barrels.

Similar to the wine above but more expressive aromas. The red cherry and
berry fruits are framed by noticeable but not intrusive oak. A lightweight, feminine
wine that is a little thin on the backend.
