Kingston Vineyards Battle: 2005 Tobiano 2005 v. 2006 Alazan

Not very fair considering that the Alazan is their higher end Pinot, but they were both delish. Great fruit, harmonious acid - not as heavy as I remember the '05 when I had it over the summer. Both are on the BONDA list representing our only Chilean Pinots. I was going to do '05 Tobiano v. '06 Tobiano, but Sam brought over the Alazan and I wanted to try it.

Full disclosure: I am friends with Sam Kingston, who's family owns the vineyard, but I wouldn't rave about his wines if I did not like them!
