Pale to medium brick, the 1998 Pinot Noir Marjorie Vineyard delivers notes of leather, potpourri, kirsch, rose essence, incense and Indian spices over notes of dried cherries, preserved plums and salami, plus a waft of dried mint. Medium-bodied, rich, concentrated and spicy, it still has lovely velvety tannins and a lively backbone, finishing with incredible persistence.
