CHASSEUR PINOT NOIR SONOMA COAST JOYCE - 2004

14.3% alcohol.

TASTING NOTES:

Rich red color with ripe berries and charred oak on the nose. Great acidity, balance and length. Earthy mushrooms, baking spices, with candied red fruit and oak on the finish.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

94 PTS
Simply a terrific wine even if it is near the end of its life. If you still have a bottle of this one, drink it now or forever hold your peace.
