LYETH Pinot Noir 2006  
designation: Heritage Reserve
vineyard: N/A
region: California - Sonoma
review date: 2009-05-11

LYETH Pinot noir

Lyeth has had a hit and miss reputation lately but this Pinot noir is definitely a hit. Briar-patch aromas with plum make your senses stand up and take notice. The wine leaves no doubt all the attention it is getting is because it is worthy. In my opinion, it has

earned the accolades that have been lauded upon this wine recently. We see a plausible contender from Russian River at a price point only available in the past. Folks, we have a gitty-up and go buy here. The premier California Pinot Noir producing region re-evaluated their pricing structure and somehow produced a wine that fulfills and defines the wine’s purpose without emptying your bank account. It may seem so with some of the current offerings. Hats off to Boissett (parent company to Lyeth); this wine is worth every penny. Get it, save it and cherish it. ~Marc Hinton
