2005 Littorai Thieriot Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.8% alc.. · Moderate reddish purple color with very slight rim bricking. Plenty going on in this wine to attract your attention. The bouquet offers notes of dark cherry, savory and other spices, cola, pipe smoke and wet brick. The mid weight black cherry and blackberry fruit flavors are framed by noticeable toasty oak and there is also a vegetal riff. The fruit is a bit faded and dried out but still enjoyable. Elegantly composed, with silky tannins, finishing juicy with tastes of cherry, green pepper and oak. Drink now to 2020. Reviewed February 13, 2017
