Tuesday Twitterings on Tannins and Terroir - Pinot Noir

Laetitia Estate Pinot Noir 2005

Characteristic cherry nose ... lots of alcohol ... fruity (maybe overripe) but we like it ... ripe berries ... cherries ... mellows after five minutes ... grows smoother ... one dimensional at first ... balanced after decanting ... complexities become more noticeable ... let sit for an hour before serving ... good value, less expensive than comparable Pinot Noir's like Sanford and Patton Valley... $23.99 @ Erickson's Fine Wines

Advice: TRY IT
