Truchard Vineyards Pinot Noir (Carneros); $25


I love a great Pinot and this does not dissapoint, a delight to drink, with bing cherry and cola flavors nuanced with earthier tones of tobacco, rosehip tea and anise. The mouth-feel is beautiful, all silk and satin. This balanced Pinot Noir defines elegance, and should improve for a few years. A best buy and top 20 makes you want to buy this one by the case.
