title: Clos La Chance 2005 Erwin Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains)
description: There's a tight, muted quality to this wine. While it floods the mouth with cherry, raspberry, Dr. Pepper and cocoa flavors, the acids and tannins are Burgundian, suggesting ageability. You can drink it now, but decanting is advisable. Otherwise, stick it in the cellar until sometime in 2009 or 2010.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Erwin Vineyard
