2005 Castle Los Carneros Pinot Noir
14.8% alc., $16. Castle has
been farming vineyards in Los Carneros and the Sonoma Valley for
more than twenty years.
·
The nose is of some interest showing off
black cherries, baking spices, and fresh roses. Alcohol peaks out.
Light in body and intensity with a soft mouth feel. Flavors of cherries,
red licorice, and tobacco are decent. Not a bad drink for the money.
My wife liked this a lot (she is partial to bright cherry flavors).
