La Pommeraie Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

Best of tasting so far. Some earth and grilled meat and dark fruit. Balance and some acid but still needs more acid and less jam. ------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.trinor.com/WineEN/VintagesEN.html http://us.riojawine.com/en/14-vintages.html http://www.riojawine.com/Esc/bodegas.php?op1=2&op2=2&sec=3#

Beauty. Especially after 6 hours open watching "chasing classic cars" late in a Friday night (exciting, I know). Typical Russian River characteristics with dark cherry, cola, caramel notes.

Yummy yummy pinot. Wish there was more!

Love me some Benovia! These guys really know how to incorporate the Sonoma terroir. Their La Pommeraie Pinot is the way to go without pricing yourself out of the equation.

Light Pinot - grape juice tasting. Most of the flavor is up front.

Outstanding Pinot. Dark cherry, ripe raspberry, cola. Fragrant and very floral on the nose. Elegant but powerful. Drinking very well right now, but has enough acid to go another year or two.

So pretty.
