Lots of earth spice on the nose. Good deep berry smells as well. Quite minerally and earthy. The palate is soft, showing red berries and good soft tannins. Nice minerality and tartness as its held in the mouth. The finish begins with nice acids, and overall gives an impression of rich and vibrant fruit, with great earth and structure. Nice acids linger for even an minute later. Impressive stuff for 2009, and I think there's improvement ahead of this one for sure. 90+

With J+D. No notes. Enjoyed. In contrast to more bombastic CA style pinot we first had.
