Braganini Reserve 2007 Pinot Noir
by Paul Arthur on Nov.29, 2009, under red wine, wine
Background: Aged on French oak for eight months.
Nose: Cherries and strawberries, earthy hints of mushroom.
Taste: Light red fruit, light hints of oak. Grapefruit pith on the finish.
Overall: Not great. The most disappointing wine I’ve had from St. Julian, particularly a disappointment since the Braganini Reserve are supposed to be their showcase wines. It’s light and drinkable, but lacks the spicy richness of a great Pinot Noir.
