"Bright red. Exotic, vibrant aromas of raspberry, Asian spices, fresh herbs and potpourri, all lifted by a mineral nuance. Sharply delineated, classically detailed pinot that offers a weightless impression of sweetness, spiciness and florality. Firm acids add definition and lift the wine's flavors. Extremely complex pinot with impeccable balance. Finishes with silky tannins, pungent minerality and lovely lingering perfume. This clocks in at 12.3% alcohol and was fermented completely with whole clusters." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/Jun 10 |
