Alamos Pinot Noir 2006 is
an elegant, delicate and complex wine. Of a red garnet color, the nose is
fresh with crisp cherry and strawberry flavors interwoven with candied fruit
aromas and spice. Oak aging adds subtle vanilla and liqueur notes. On the
palate, an initial sweetness leads to a complex, unctuous, light-structured
wine, with soft, round tannins and a long, persistent finish.
