The 2009 Pomedes (65% Pinot Bianco, 25% Friulano, 10% Rhine Riesling) comes across as heavy and lacking grace. The vintage was not kind to this wine and most other cuvees with prominent oak. Yellow stone fruit, spices and smoke wrap around the finish, but the wine never seems to fully come together. An awkward streak of greenness that is uncharacteristic of the year runs through the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (631) 467-5907
