Pale to medium ruby-garnet in color, the 2005 Pinot Noir Louise has a lovely nose of tar, dried tobacco leaves, worn leather, wood smoke and dried black fruits. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the mouth with black fruits accented by tar and savory tobacco, with firm tannins and a long finish with notes of stewed black tea.

Deep red. Flamboyantly perfumed bouquet of black raspberry, cherry-cola, lavender and fresh rose. Smoky dark berry flavors are impressively concentrated but also vivacious and penetrating. Gains a sappy character on the long, powerful finish. More complex than the Laurene, with greater cling and sweetness. Strikes a compelling balance between strength and finesse.
