Estimate
...has exquisitely lifted aromas of preserved cranberries, eau de vie, and brambly, pure, fresh herbs. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins, preserved flowers, pristine fresh herbs, framboise, with beautiful clarity, it’s the Volnay of the range.
...spicy blend of dried black cherries, incense, dusty sage and clove. Softly textured and juicy in feel, sweet herbal tones and sapid red and blue fruits slowly saturate toward the close. It finishes with a pleasantly bitter tinge of savory spice, mixing hints of ginger and cardamom, tapering off crunchy and long.
...has layered aromas of cranberry sauce, pomegranate, orange peel, tar, tea leaves and bitters...palate balances structural delicacy with high concentration. Lacy tannins and vibrant acidity frame its deep, spicy flavors, and it has a very long finish with a flourish of spicy accents.
This classic and complex pinot is well-balanced and tangy and yet full of vivid fruit flavors. Fragrant in cherries, tea leaves and rhubarb and lively in raspberries, red cherries and savory accents on a medium- to full-bodied palate with light tannins.
