Estimate
Sweet floral and spice notes lead into a core of red berry fruit as this polished, classically built Pinot reveals its considerable charms.
Classic notes of dried cherries, cranberries, loamy earth, and savory herbs all give way to a bright, medium-bodied, elegant Pinot Noir that has a solid sense of minerality, present tannins, and a good finish.
...offering lovely purity and bounce. The nose wafts from the glass in a refined and already quite complex constellation of red and black cherries...touch of raspberry, black tea...truly gorgeous spice tones...very suave framing of spicy new oak. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied, balanced and plush on the attack, with an excellent core of fruit, fine soil signature, ripe, seamless tannins and outstanding length and grip on the nascently complex and very well-balanced finish.
...ripe yet fresh mix of various red berries and plenty of floral influences...pliant and appealingly textured medium weight flavors possess a caressing mid-palate mouthfeel that progressively moves towards a dusty, serious and very firm finish...
