2005 Bianchi Signature Selection Encell Vineyard Paso Robles Pinot Noir
13.6% alc. $27. I recently
reviewed and thoroughly enjoyed the Bianchi Garey Vineyard Pinot Noir. This wine, however,
is a horse (Pinot) of a different color.
·
The nose shows off beautiful crushed black raspberries, but alcohol
spoils the experience. The wine is a bit tight and flat now and noticeably astringent on the back end.
The dark fruits, such as black current, are appealing, and the tannin structure is admirable, but the wine
is just not offering a lot of pleasure now. Maybe time will help some, but I fear the balance is off.
