Little Black Dress 2006 Pinot Noir (Vin de Pays d’Oc)

Country: France /
Variety: Pinot Noir Languedoc-Roussillon
Winery: Little Black Dress / Vin de Pays d’Oc

A top choice in a generally weak category, this Pinot shows pretty strawberry and raspberry scents that yield to earth and cherry flavors in the mouth. The palate is well balanced and followed by a strawberry-infused finish. Although this wine shows quite a bit of promise, some slightly gummy notes on the nose and palate preclude a higher score at this time.
