This region of Napa Valley provides a cool climate from which we produce grapes that are lush with rich flavors and an abundance of fruit. <br><br> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;"> Tasting Notes:</span><br> The final blend has very strong red-berry aromatics, including raspberry and strawberry. The color is quite dark for a pinot noir, and is a good indicator that this wine is of the fuller bodied class of pinot noirs. The texture of the wine is very smooth as it relates to the integration and balance of the acids, tannins and body of the wine. Considering the depth and full body of the wine, it displays fantastic finesse and complexity. This wine is tasting great upon release and should continue to develop and drink well for the next 3-5 years. <br><br> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;"> Vintage Notes:</span><br> Vintage 2005 is memorable for its early spring start, slow and steady ripening period through the summer months and a fast, hot finish several weeks ahead of traditional harvest timelines. Warm, consistent summer weather was bracketed by an early spring bud break and several late summer hot spells, creating growing conditions that allowed for one of the earliest harvest periods in almost a decade. </div> <br> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/?category=106" style="text-decoration: none; color: #a60000; font-weight: bold;" target=_top> Return to Corley Family Monticello Vineyards wine list</a></P> <P> <LI>Please Note: <b>Case Discount: 10%</b> </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron" TITLE="Appellation America Products">Appellation America Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://wine.appellationamerica.com">Appellation America</A> <BR>Appellation America <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
