A spicy nose of anise, all spice, nutmeg and mushroomTaste
A dark fruit wine with deep rich flavors of blackberries and black cherries. The wine has great structure and wonderful acidity with a sweet oak finish. This wine will age very well.Accolades

WINE REVIEWS
Score: 91 "Medium ruby color; deep, spicy aromas of cinnamon with black cherry notes; deep, complex core of black cherry fruit, spicy and earthy notes, sweet oak, good structure and balance; long finish. Deep and rich, this Pinot is a terrific mouthful of earthy, spicy complexity."
Pinot Report 12/30/08
Score: 87 "Rich, root-beer-like spice in the nose immediate separates this one from its siblings, and, unlike its mates, it draws up just a bit short at the finish. Fairly firm and showing acidy angles and edges just now, it has enough well-defined fruit at its heart to invite a few years of comfortable keeping."
Connoisseur's Guide to Wine 10/08
Score: 87 "Offers a touch of racy sour cherry and wild berry. Zesty, vibrant and medium-bodied, this ends with a citrusy edge that's mouthwatering."
