Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2009 Pinot Noir has a slightly reduced nose that soon gives way to vibrant cherry and ripe raspberry aromas over tar, black pepper and damp loam notes. Medium to full bodied, it has just enough berry flavor in the mouth with high acid, a medium level of chewy tannins and a long earthy finish. Drink it now to 2015. No known USA importer.
