Estimate
White flowers, rose petals, vanilla, cedarwood, and loads of ripe cherries and raspberries all flow to a remarkably textured, layered, concentrated Pinot Noir that continues to open and change in the glass.
...bursts from the glass with exuberant notions of kirsch, cranberry sauce, pomegranate and rose hip tea with hints of underbrush, moss-covered bark, crushed rocks, lavender and a ferrous waft.
Sweet tobacco, cedar, leather, licorice and dried herbs add to the wine's distinctive personality. Elegant, nuanced and yet also quite powerful, Clos du Ciel is expressive and full of character.
Lithe, rich and well-structured, with chocolate and Asian spice notes behind the taut cherry, forest floor and damson plum flavors. The juicy finish is filled with sandalwood hints and intense minerality.
