2009 Failla Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

Medium red. Very dark aromas of black raspberry, blackberry, black tea and sexy soil tones. Then sweet and lush in the mouth, with a distinctly creamy mouth feel to the dark raspberry flavor. An enticing dark berry-driven wine with a slightly spiky but lingering finish that features rather suave tannins. Like a dark berry cocktail on the aftertaste.
