2005 Leigh Cellars Silacci Vineyard Monterey County Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $27. The label says
“Produced and bottled by Arcadian,” but this is the private label of Gerry Frayer who made this wine
under the tutelage of Arcadian’s Joe Davis. I believe this is Gerry’s first Pinot Noir. This is a very nicely
weighted Pinot Noir whose light garnet color indicates that elegance is forthcoming.
·
It possesses a spice cabinet nose with a subtle hint of oak and alcohol. Juicy spiced peach and cherry flavors are followed by a citrus kick on the back end. A pretty wine that is easily approachable.
