FLOWERS SONOMA COAST PINOT NOIR - 2004


14.1% alcohol

TASTING NOTES:

Medium transparent red color with wonderful red berries, spice and oak on the nose. Cherry, raspberries and strawberries with minerality and hints of leather. Very soft and smooth but lacking a some complexity.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

90 PTS
I really like this wine and have had great experiences with Flowers Pinots in the past. I think the alcohol creeps up on the finish a tad and makes this wine not as enjoyable as it could be. Still, this is a very good effort. The brightness of the fruit and the bouquet are its strengths. Retails for $40 - $50 which makes this a very expensive offering and a questionable purchase.
