Blackjack 1998 Laetitia Vyd Pinot Noir (San Luis Obispo County)
-
$32
Chunky in the nose, with a touch of tomato, oak, chocolate and wet dog. Looks heavy and dark in the glass, which tips off the round, hefty mouthfeel. There’s a grapey/raisiny quality to the fruit, which is low-acid. The finish is smooth enough, with unassertive tannins and ample length.
