Beringer Stanly Ranch Pinot Noir 2005
Pinot Noir
from Carneros, California
winemaker's notes:
"The 2005 Stanly Ranch Pinot Noir features aromas of ripe strawberry and rhubarb with hints of rose
water, vanilla and camomille tea, as lush red berries flavors mingle with notes of ruby grapefruit, smoke
and pepper. This wine is supported by finely integrated tannins and a bright acid backbone, leading into
a long, juicy finish."
– Winemaker, Laurie Hook
"Beringer has hit pay dirt with this wine, a
realistically priced Pinot offering attractive dried herb, forest floor, berry fruit,
and floral notes along with a medium body, good tannin, and a solid, chewy
texture."
