The 2004 Pinot Noir “Thea’s Selection” is Lemelson’s entry level wine. Dark ruby-colored, it delivers an attractive nose of toasty black cherry and blueberry. This is followed by a supple-textured wine with sweet dark fruits, buttressing acidity, in a racy- elegant style with good grip and length. Drink it over the next 6-8 years.
