La Crema Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2006 California

This California Pinot Noir aged in French oak for 7 months opens with aromas of ripe black cherry, little hints of chocolate & vanilla, wood and spicy clove. On the palate is cherry again, and plum. Balanced acidity and firm tannins give this a nice finish. High alcohol content, 14.6% and price of $19. Sampled this wine at a tasting at Rosetta Wines.
