Huge quantities of violets dominate the otherwise black cherry-scented nose of the 2002 Pinot Noir Stoller Vineyards. Medium to full-bodied, densely-packed, plump, and satin-textured, this is a broad, lush, decadent effort. Loads of expressive dark fruits are intermingled with spices in its well-endowed character. Projected maturity: now-2012.
