Monticello Vineyards 2003 Estate Grown Pinot Noir (Oak Knoll)

With a deep, mulchy taste of the earth that’s reminiscent of cured tobacco, mushrooms and roasted coffeebean, this full-bodied Pinot also shows plum and blackberry notes that are slightly baked. It’s a hearty, soft wine, but not a rustic one.  — S.H.  (12/15/2005)
