The 2010 Gradient Pinot Noir was made using 40% whole bunches. Pale to medium ruby colored, it offers a stemmy nose with dried herb notes over scents of kirsch, cranberry preserves and dried leaves plus a whiff of rose hip tea. Medium-bodied with chewy, astringent tannins and lovely red fruits, it has a long earthy finish. One for the whole-bunch Pinot geeks.
