La Rochelle 2005 Paraiso Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / Paraiso Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: La Rochelle / Santa Lucia Highlands

The vineyard has been a consistent source of good to great Pinot Noirs for Paraiso winery. Now La Rochelle dips into it, with successful results. It’s a dry, elegantly silky but complex wine, with an array of cherry, raspberry, rose flower, cinnamon spice and smoky vanilla flavors, heightened with crisp acidity. Drink now.
