Amazingly complex Pinot with sweet spices, forest floor, red fruit, just the barest hint of cinnamon and wood, but then transperant and see-through on the palate, but not stiff. Elegant but incredibly fun to drink.

My note on 08 suggested that the 09 was all declassified into the SCM cuvee, but the proof is in the pudding as the 09 is right in front of me. Much more confidence of aroma and palate flavor. Deeper, more refined stem note shows this wines breed. Complexity on the palate. Still a sweet fruit thought, but with everything else going on, the the fruit on the mid palate has a lot of competition.

Big and fruity and bramble. Still young. Needs more time.
