October 24, 2008 - In putting this wine into light against a white surface, you will see that the color is warm garnet, with a slight tinge of orange. The wine has a fair amount of viscosity, which makes sense given its 14.5% alcohol. The nose on this wine is redolent with raspberry, cherry, earthy notes, and figs. The interesting thing is that there is no heat (the term used to denote a slight flaw that is based upon alcohol) in the nose at all - which is really nice! The mouth on this medium to full bodied wine starts with figs and red cherry. The mid palate is a complex and wonderful mixture of soft integrated tannins, spice, and anise. The finish is long, with fresh figs and smoked wood. We really liked this Pinot, and see it having a place in our cellars in the future as well.
