This Pinot Noir is made from Carneros fruit which creates the balance in this wine. 2008 was a relatively difficult vintage for Carneros Pinot, so the wine's richness is impressive. Persistent red cherry and raisin on the nose followed by brisk acidity, which is somewhat surprising considering the age of the wine. There are nice rich flavors of plum, spice cake and red cherry with a touch of vanilla in the long finish. (Best 2015-2022) - July, 2015 (OB)
