2006 Tati’s Block O’Neel Family Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.5%, $25. This bottling is a private reserve wine of the O’Neel family who sell
some of their fruit to Kosta Browne.
·
Moderately deep ruby color. Aromas of
cherries, strawberries, herbs and toasty oak. Elegantly styled with admirable
acidity and supple tannins. The wine is initially herbal and oaky but sampled the
next day from a previously opened re-corked bottle, had become more fruity and
lost its woody qualities. Decant or cellar for a year or two. Decent (+).
