The Papapietro-Perry 2005 Leras Family Vineyard" Pinot Noir is a "true" Sonoma Coast Pinot: delicious, deep, and lush. Medium ruby red color, aromas of black cherry fruit, cinnamon and vanilla and smoke all lead into rich, ripe, juicy flavors of stone fruit, strawberry and spice. Silky, well-structured, full-bodied and balanced, this one has it all, the fruit carrying through to a long, complex, velvety finish. Try it while it lasts!
91 Points Wine Spectator: " Complex and well-proportioned, with a mix of smoky, toasty oak and ripe plum, wild berry and plummy Pinot Noir fruit that's clean and refreshing, ending with mineral-pebble notes. Drink now through 2011. 1,200 cases made."
