Winemaker's notes: charming and graceful, like the 2004, but with a slightly more masculine character. On the nose, the wine is full of bright cherry and intense small red berry notes, with a hint of spice. The mouth feel is lush and round, and very balanced, as is the elegant, long finish. It is a wine to enjoy now, or any time over the next 6-12 years.
Tanzer Review:
Bright red color. Alluring red and dark berry scents are complicated by fresh rose, baking spices and minerals. Delicate and precise, offering zesty red fruit flavors and finegrained tannins, with a brisk snap of blood orange on the back. Admirably understated, focused pinot with impressive finishing cut and length.
