2005 Arcadian Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard (375ml)


Day Three...

This is still going strong a few days later... mellowed just a bit with the fruit being showcased and framed with an admirable backbone of tannins. Lots of life left ahead)..

There are several California pinot noirs that seem to reflect some damn nice Burgundian qualities, based on my experience:

Pisoni Vineyard (Pisoni, Ryan, Arcadian producers) reflecting top notch Cote de Beaune)

Kanzler Vineyard (Kanzler Family producer specifically their Reserve bottling) reflecting Cote de Nuits

Jensen Vineyard (Calera producer) reflecting Cote de Beaune

Day One...
Absolutely beautiful fruit that clinched somewhat after about a half hour. Still a bit young? 

Will check in 48 hours. But tasty stuff. Sort of Grand Cru SLH terroir, Bravo....🍇

Warm vintage? But has aged well.. 👍
