2005 La Crema Pinot Noir

We paid right around $15 for this one.

Earth, raspberry, and cola notes on the nose.

Smooth, raspberry, cola, earth, and cherry. Tannins are so low we’re hovering on the flabby line.

The finish is watery, but has some slight herb, earth, and a lot of raspberry. It’s a very mild finish but it lasts for quite some time.

This is a dangerous wine, nice fruit, good depth, and such low tannins that it’s all too easy to gulp down. I could use some more structure and acid, but for a $15 Pinot Noir this is a good one if you like the fruitier style.
