TN: 2005 Gary Farrell RRV Pinot Noir

Had this at Galatoire’s Bistro tonight which was almost as good as the original.

Nice strawberries and bing cherries on the nose. Had heavy acidity which was fine with the food but I’m not sure this is a wine to drink by itself as it was fairly simple. The tannins are almost fully resolved and the wine is plush and velvety in the mouth. I have to admit I had higher hopes for this due to the asking price but it was pleasant with dinner. I’d drink bottles within the next year. ***

Bought one for the acid but sorry to hear about the simplicity. Looks like it’s time to consume.
