Tasted non blind.
Garnet to dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of rubber tire, cardamom, black berries and dark plums. Flavors of raspberries and tangy cherries. Tart acidity, medium to firm tannin, full bodied. Drink with air or hold.
January 16, 2015 - A delicious Pinot that is holding strong after nearly 10 years. Great fruit with a small touch of spice. Dark red fruits - maybe a little blue as well. Not much on the nose but lots of stuffing. Very nice.
May 13, 2012 - Agree with JOJ comments. Evolvong nicely in the glass. The strawberry jam or sweet-tart quality throws me off a little. Hope that subsides on day two. Lots of fresh acid and a myriad of red fruits, citrus and spices. Very interesting wine
March 11, 2012 - This really has evolved into a nice wine. On the nice, orange peel, Asian spice, flowers, cranberry, and cinnamon. Palate explodes with cherry, citrus, and cranberry, with notes of wet rock and sweet tarts. Tannin still present, with nice counterbalancing acidity. Bravo.
May 27, 2011 - Popped, poured and followed over 4 hours thus far (still have about half a bottle left). Plenty of tea spices and even more of the tell-tale pink grapefruit aromas on the nose to tell you you're drinking Rosella's fruit. The palate is a little sharp and angular, but the black cherry and plumb-skinned fruit is clean, ripe, fresh and spritely...which I like. She finishes a little sweet and with a mildly alcoholic kick (14.1%abv)...which I don't like. Not overly complex, but more than kept my interest. Nice, but I'm not upset that I drank my 1 and only bottle purchased on release.
April 30, 2011 - Nice bottle of wine... lots of fruit, enough acid left... velvet mouthfeel... cranberry... a bit cloudy.
November 1, 2010 - very enjoyable pinot with baked king salmon.
August 27, 2010 - Holding up nicely... velvet mouthfeel.. slightly cloudy, cranberry finish , still plenty bright.
April 19, 2010 - PnP. Garnet. Nose of red fruit, baking spice, touch of citrus and earth. Velvety texture with spiny acidity. Medium intensity red fruit with spice and hint of grapefruit. Was quite nice with smokehouse pork chops sent to us from Skip.
January 17, 2010 - Delicious with salmon
