Tasting
Notes
1/19/09
Definitive Pinot Noir nose, with savory earth tones of forest floor and truffle, along with a peppery, char spicy component and then black cherry and raspberry fruit aromatically. Sleek and silky, with an elegant slant on a medium framed body, this has an interesting, earthy, char component to the red fruit flavors as well. Finer grained, smooth tannins and a lingering combo of char and red fruit on the finish polish this up nicely. Think Old World at a great price; enjoy this over the next 2-3 years.
