Medium deep ruby color, the 2005 Pinot Noir displays a lovely nose of kirsch, red currants and warm cranberries with touches of Provence herbs, mossy bark and loam. The mouth-filling, vibrant fruit is framed by medium levels of fine-grained tannins, crisp acid and a long finish. It is maturing some, but still has loads of life left. Drink it now to 2017+.
