Tasting notes
The 2011 Pinot Noir Pomarium Estate is deeper, richer and denser than the Ama, but also a bit less expressive in the early going. Dark red cherries, new leather and smoke all flesh out in a broad, intense Pinot with considerable intensity and structure, but a bit less in the way of finesse. Spices, autumn leaves, new leather and cedar notes add complexity on a finish that remains compact and a bit unyielding.

Ruby-red. Sexy aromas of candied redcurrant, raspberry, cola and potpourri. Offers vibrant red fruit compote and floral pastille flavors, supple texture and bright tangy lift. Leaves a strong impression of spicy red fruits behind, along with notes of candied rose and lavender. Distinctly elegant and precise pinot, with a suave blend of power and elegance. (JR)
