Les Galets Arroyo Grande Valley Pinot Noir

Wonderfully perfumed and rich eight year-old Central Coast Pinot Noir, with fruit, acid, tannins and earth in harmonious balance. Got better as the night went on, and the leftover half bottle the next day was great—soft and approachable yet complex and delicious interesting. Rather Old World, I would say. Enjoyed the 2014 vintage with Livarot cheese and an artisanal country loaf. Magnifique! — 2 years ago

Good and very cherry but not as much as some other younger wines. Not sure if I like this more than the other higher end petite sirahs of theirs. — 4 years ago

Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berries and floral spices. On the palate flavors of raspberry and cherry with licorice, floral, pepper and cinnamon. Fine tannins, medium+ finish, lively acidity, good structure, ending with fruit, pepper and earthy spice. — 8 months ago

Aged definitely pays! Cherry still but mellowed with earthy notes and strong tannins still. Would likely be even better with a few more years in the bottle. Nice surprise from the library mystery case. — 2 years ago
