“Deep red with a brilliant rim. Powerfully scented aromas of cherry, smoky minerals, flowers and Asian spices expand with air and pick up a note of white pepper. Palate-staining red berry and cherry flavors are impressively energetic, with tangy mineral and cinnamon qualities adding vivacity. Finishes very fresh, with excellent clarity and spicy persistence. More energetic and classically pinot than the 2006 version.”
