title: Salentein 2004 Pr1mum Pinot Noir (Uco Valley)
description: Browning in color, with mounds of dry spice, tea and earth aromas, but also a cooked, overoaked quality that doesn't serve the wine well. The palate is plodding and doesn't really evolve, while flavors of brown sugar, obvious oak and roasted berry seem to be fading. Expensive for what's in the bottle.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Pr1mum
