Talley, Pinot Noir Rincon Vintage:2019 The 2000 La Dominique is

The 2000 La Dominique is a wine that I thoroughly enjoyed out of barrel but never tasted in bottle

The delicious lighter weight flavors are quite supple while offering acceptable length on the balanced finale where a hint of youthful austerity appears

Note that this well-made effort is going to require at least a few years of patience first

This should also drink reasonably well young but amply reward longer-term cellaring as well

Talley, Pinot Noir Rincon Vintage:2019 The 2000 La Dominique isThe 2019 Pinot Noir Rincon Vineyard shows slightly more fruit on the nose and is a softer, more up front wine. Framboise, flowers, salty sea breeze, and spicy notes all define the nose, and its fresh and lively on the palate, with medium bodied richness. I like it today, yet I suspect it will be even better with a year or two in bottle and should drink brilliantly through 2031.
