The F5 bottling is proving to be a good one for Cuvaison. While the ’06 doesn’t have the structural complexity of the ’05, it’s a very fine Pinot Noir. With a silky texture and a furry edge of fine tannins, its cherry, black raspberry, red currant, mocha and spice flavors are complex and pleasing. Best now through 2012.——S.H.(3/1/2009)—— 89
