Kongsgaard, 2004 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

A number of wine critics are saying, “The 2004 Pinot Noirs are as good as Rochioli has ever produced”. I have not been drinking Rochioli wines for all that long, but I can say this is a great wine. It has a lush and opulent style. The taste is plum, cherry, and pomegranate. The flavors are intense, but not heavy in your mouth. Buy it and drink it this year, it is awesome right now. It has the added bonus of being better than a lot of very pricey California Pinots, but at half the price. So far this is the best wine I have tasted in 2006.
