Muns 2005 Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains)
-
$40
Picking up some bottle age, which has softened its direct impact. But it’s still a pretty one-dimensional wine, offering a blast of cherries, raspberries, cola, mint and oak. Harder and more tannic than your typical coastal Pinot, although the silky texture satisfies. May have a future, but no guesstimates.
