Estimate
A wonderful Pinot Noir, this is nuanced & balanced, and so good it makes the price seem a relative bargain. It's enormously rich in raspberries & cherries yet brisk in acidity, and the oak aging adds a dimension of buttered toast. Fancy...
...lovely energy & centeredness in its dark red fruit, flowers, cloves & menthol... rich, enveloping, gorgeous depth... with a long, expressive finish and outstanding overall balance. I very much like the sense of pure polish and vibrancy.
Oak-spiced cherry, blueberry & vanilla... good energy, a smoky nuance with air. Pliant & seamless in texture, with good weight, gentle tannins and strong finishing sweetness. Sexy & approachable pinot, with the depth to handle richer foods.
