2005 St. Julian Winery Braganini Reserve Pinot Noir

We received this as a Christmas gift from my parents - St. Julian is a winery in southwest Michigan which my mom visited a while back. I only know of St Julian from their sweet wines so this will be interesting.

Earth on the nose mainly.

Very nice – raspberry, a bit of vanilla, oak, spices, and solid acid which brings it all together.

Oak and earth linger on the finish with some carob and spicy notes.

An all around solid wine. In time we'll probably be visiting some Michigan wineries and this will certainly be on the list.
