From the Santa Maria Valley, the 2005 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard Old Vine possesses a muscular black cherry note intermixed with hints of wet rocks, earth, herbs, and tapenade. Deep ruby/purple-tinged and ripe, with a pronounced minerality in addition to a medium to full-bodied, structured mouthfeel, it should drink nicely for 7-8 years. Tel.
