Miner 2005 Garys’ Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands)

Country: US / California
Variety: Pinot Noir
Winery: Miner / Garys’ Vineyard

Soft and lush, the flavors are just delicious, ranging from cherries and cassis to cola, cocoa, gingersnap cookie, rose petal tea and Asian spices. With every sip, you find something new. The wine would benefit from a firmer texture, though, as it’s on the soft, one-dimensional side.
