Country: US / Les Galets
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Laetitia / Arroyo Grande Valley
Les Galets, from Laetitia’s estate vineyard, is a brilliant wine. It’s fuller and denser than the companion La Colline bottling, with plum and spicy blackberry flavors and a molasses, Indian pudding note. Tannins are evident but not intrusive. This serious Pinot Noir is built to improve in the cellar through 2007.
