Winemaker's Notes

Fact Sheet

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.
