2006 Pinot Noir from Stiling Vineyard in Russian River Valley
Price: $40.00 Review Date: 2009-08-11
VineSugar Review: 
Ruby red color. Aromas of black cherries, saw dust, cola berries and expressive violet florals. This is a full, juicy wine exploding with red berries and spices all nicely integrated through a wonderfully lingering finish of mocha, leather note and an exotic spice box.
Winemaker Notes
Darker ruby in color with a bright raspberry nose and a hint of forest floor — did I actually write that? — sorry, but sometimes it’s hard to find the proper words: an elusive combination of pine needles, faint eucalyptus, dry leaves, moist earth. . . I hope that’s a smidge more helpful. All followed by fresh and lively strawberry, cola nut and touch of nutmeg on the palate with moderate tannins and good acidity to see them through to the lingering finish.
Displays the expressive fruit reminiscent of our ’04 Stiling combined with the elegance and greater restraint of the ’05.
Drinking Windows:
Prime drinking: late 2008 through 2011
Graceful ageability: 2013, perhaps longer
