This wine was aged in 25% new French oak barrels and 75% older French oak barrels. This has contributed to the development of a complex and structured wine with powerful and ripe, spicy fruit driven tannins. This Pinot Noir has aromas of ripe black cherries and violets with a lovely earthy complexity underpinned with subtle liquorice characters. This is a full-bodied wine with an elegant tannin structure and a lingering finish.
This wine will repay cellaring for three to five years.
"Graceful and fragrant, with a lovely array of raspberry, spice, strawberry and dried herb flavors. Savory mineral and crushed stone accents, cedary oak and a supple structure harmonize in the deft, lingering finish. Drink now through 2010." 92 points, Wine Spectator
