NOTHING LAZY HERE!!!
Lazy Creek Vineyards 2005 Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley
Aggressive, bold, huge and rich… is exactly how Risqué likes his MEN Pinot Noir. Not only is this liquid amazing… it always nice to find a well hung bottle with a beautiful and elegant lengthy cork closure.
Deep ruby red extends to the rim of this Pinot Noir boasting a strong Alcohol but complex nose. The aromas flaunt delicious fresh strawberry, black cherry preserves, rhubarb, sweet tobacco, spicy wood and floral notes. This beauty fills the mouth with a full bodied, mildly tannic, very round Burgundian style liquid that is engorged with more dark cherry and punctuated with bright strawberry, spice, cola and tobacco finish. Risqué left half the bottle opened overnight and was very pleasantly surprised as the strong alcohol nose all but disappeared and the remaining nose and taste held nicely.
Trust him… Risqué knows lazy when he experiences it and this is anything but lackadaisical… so just lean back and let this big beautiful Pinot grab hold of you and provide an enjoyable workout! Risqué strongly recommends decanting for several hours or if you want to keep it will lie down for five to ten years.
Alcohol 14.1 ($50)
