2005 Bernardus Bien Nacido Vineyards Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., 99 cases, $25. Sourced from two different
blocks containing Pommard and 2A clone. Aged in 60% new oak.

Very nice garnet color. Heady
aromatics of cherries, cola and spice. Nicely balanced with racy red fruits, supple tannins and palatecleaning
acidity. My favorite wine in this Pinot Noir lineup.
