2006 Pellegrini Olivet Lane Pinor Noir, Russian River Valley, CA

[wondersofwine]

I purchased this bottle while in Sonoma last October. Have had Olivet Lane before from a couple producers. Pellegrini is the family owning the vineyard which grows Charonnay and Pinot Noir grapes.

The Pinot Noir sells for $35 from the tasting room.

14.1% alcohol Viscous.
Burgundy color with some brilliance in the center. Semi-transparent. Slightly tannic but also reflects dark fruit--damson plum and perhaps boysenberry. Very satiny on day three. Recommended.

We missed this one when out there last summer. After reading your notes, I now regret that decision. Oh well, there's always next time!
