Not a delicate PN by any means. This baby is full of flavor and the finish goes on forever. The nose displays some really good aromatics, but unfortunately this was consumed a few months ago, so I can't remember specifics, other than dark berries on the nose. This is by far the "meatiest" of all the Holdredge 09's IMHO. Can't wait to pop open the '10.

Absurdly delicious. Quite possibly the best California Pinot that I've had. Nose is a mix of deep dark red fruit and ranges from baked cherries to fresh raspberries to rhubarb to sassafras. Just an amazing mix that is barely possible to tease out, with the sum coming out greater than the parts. The palate if anything is better with a racy mix of cherries and raspberries, and a long finish that mingles the fruit with a fine chalky minerality. Awesome.

Notes from RRV Barrel Tasting 2010: Barrel sample. Deep, rich, dark berries, lush but not ripe, medium acidity, really nice.
