The 2008 Block 5 Pinot Noir is finer and more expressive. Displaying a pale to medium ruby color, it has slightly funky, wild ferment aromas over a core of freshly crushed strawberries, balsamic, cinnamon and espresso plus a whiff of bacon. The medium to full bodied palate is very impressive giving a good balance of crisp acidity, concentrated, complex fruit and earth flavors, a medium level of silky tannins and a long finish. This can be enjoyed now though it will continue to give pleasure to 2015+. Importer: Ronnie Sanders, Vine Street Imports, Philadelphia, PA; tel. (215) 533 9464
