2005 Henneberg Pinot Noir



Another wonderful Pinot from Raye's Hill . This is the second of four that I am tasting from this wonderful vineyard. From the winemaker "This Pinot has bright pure fruit flavors of cherries, raspberries, pomegranates, rhubarb and cola all coming together with a long spicy finish". I will agree with Dan's assessment, but since I have never had rhubarb... I cannot say that I tasted any on my palate. The cherries, raspberries and the cola were very prevalent and forward. I really loved the spice that came at the end. As my friends know, I like earthiness and some spice to shine from a Pinot. I cannot wait to try the other two from this Anderson Valley winery.


I rate this wine 7.5 Bigbecks out of 10
