2010 Benovia La Pommeraie Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.5%
alc., $56.
·
Dark ruby color in the glass. Stunning aromatics featuring
bright aromas of black raspberries accented with vanilla, oak and spice.
The palate is soft, plush and long featuring delicious black cherry, black
raspberry, black tea and cardamom spice flavors, finishing with an
appealing crispness. This is a saucy, spicy number that grabs on and
brings you to attention. Even better the following day from a previously opened
and re-corked bottle. An 2013 All-American for sure.
