Tasting notes
The 2009 Pinot Noir offers up bright, high-toned red berries, flowers, spices and licorice. Floral notes reappear on the delicate, nuanced finish. This mid-weight Pinot has enough freshness and energy to drink well for a number of years, but it could use another year in bottle to soften.

Aromas and flavors of earth and musk and dark fruits. A full-bodied Pinot with chewy tannins. A year or two of bottle age should soften the wine.
