cloudy and a bit advanced in color. On the nose and palate, this wine was a shadow of a 2005 Hansel single vineyard I had a year or so ago. While that one showed earthy tones, this one seemed advanced and pruney.

Medium bright garnet in color with ever-so-slight clearing at the edges. Forward, fragrant & attractive nose of complex, ripe fruit aromas of cherries, strawberries & red currants with spices overtones of cinnamon & cloves & floral notes, cherry-cola, dusty/earthy, herbs, minerals & a hint of vanilla in the background. Medium bodied with a good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, complex, ripe fruit flavors of sweet cherries, strawberries & mulberries with spice notes of cloves, some cherry-cola, minerals, herbs, earthy & a hint of vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present & is close to or at its peak of development although it should hold here for several more years.

- Crimsom color - Good pinot noir. Enjoyed with broiled salmon and Portabello mushroom baked with I spinach and cheese. Good legs and body. Bitter cherry but not too bitter.
