2008 Pinot Noir

Tasting Date: March 2009

Deep garnet with purple hints. A rather brooding nose of ripe raspberry countered with earth, toast and dark perfume… maybe deep red rose petals. The palate displays a plush, cushioned silkiness, with an interplay of juicy, mouthwatering acid and ripe, rich raspberry and boysenberry fruit, offset with dusty bramble leaf. The finish is long and relatively complex for such a youthful wine, displaying minerals with dusty tannin and a kick of mocha.
