2005 Athair Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., 600 cases, $28. I wrote about this wine
previously and praised it (PinotFile volume 6, Issue 31). This time around with the same wine I wasn’t
as sold.
·
Attractive bottle with embossed label. Dark red-purple in color. Very nicely composed aroma
profile of cherries, earth, and oak. Plenty of luscious dark fruits and spice, but encumbered by a woody
aftertaste that persists despite lengthy air time. Very nice acidity for the table.
