2005 A.P. Vin Pinot Noir Turner Vineyard - USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Rita Hills (1/5/2008)
Dusky ruby color. Reuctive aromatics, though with time some dark cherry, earth and green tea scents emerge. Still tastes pretty rustic on the palate, but there's lots of fruit there, and I didn't notice much in the way of alcoholic heat. I'm going to let my other bottle sit a while and see if there's any improvement after a year to 18 months. Right now just an ok wine for me. (84 pts.)
