"This masterful pinot noir embodies that wonderful varietal paradox of suppleness matched with tensile strength. Its floral scents of violets and roses rise over earth-dusted cherries and a hint of tar. With air the wine gets silkier, livelier, while its flavors are simultaneously light and earthboundâlithe, sinewy and transparent even as it remains forceful and assertive. It fills the mouth without overreaching, hinting at its potential. Cellar it, to uncork for a special meal."
