Blackberries and spices can be found in the aromatics of the 1998 Pinot Noir Red Hills Estate. This firm, tight, and tangy, medium to full-bodied wine offers layers of red currants and blackberries. Somewhat foursquare and in need of cellaring, this wine should ultimately deserve an excellent to outstanding rating. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2010.
