Villa Mt. Eden 2005 Bien Nacido Vineyard Grand Reserve Pinot Noir (Santa Maria Valley)

Country: US / Bien Nacido Vineyard Grand Reserve
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Villa Mt. Eden / Santa Maria Valley

Other than a sugary sweetness, this wine shows all the hallmarks of a very nice Pinot Noir from this famed vineyard. The raspberry, cherry and vanilla flavors are accented by dusty spices, and the texture is silky. But the wine just doesn’t taste dry.
