Tasting Notes

An intensely floral nose of violets, lavender and lilac serves to add considerable elegance to the very fresh red pinot fruit that is substantially cut with wet stone, stems and earth nuances. The large-bodied and imposingly structured flavors possess outstanding mid-palate density with an abundance of mouth coating and tannin-buffering dry extract, all wrapped in a textured, driving and built to age finish. This brooding and tightly wound effort will require 15 to 20 years to reach its apogee.
