2005 De La Montanya Reserve Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

14.7%, 48 cases, $42. Pommard, and Dijon 777 clones, this is sourced from Tina’s Vineyard. The difference is this one is aged in 90% new oak (according to Dennis but label says 50%). · This is the Pamela Anderson in the lineup. Voluptuous fruit in the nose and on the palate. Noticeable vanilla and toast on the nose. A ‘wow’ finish of big plumy raspberry infused fruit. Very showy right now. Parkeresque. Reviewed November 7, 2006
