Notes From The Winemaker:
Aromas of black cherry, black currant and rose petal. A lush, dense palate moves into a sweet core of dark fruits. Finishes with hints of dark chocolate, cassis, and vanilla.
Ratings & Reviews
92 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"Focused, seamless and generous with its dark berry, tar and floral flavors, gliding easily through refined tannins into the long finish. This has depth and presence. Drink now through 2019."—H.S. (Aug 3, 2011)
91 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar:
"Full ruby-red. Powerful, oak-spiced aromas of blackberry and cherry, with a pungent floral quality and a hint of licorice. Shows the ripe side of the year, with palate-coating dark berry and floral pastille flavors and a sexy note of spicecake. Leaves mocha and vanilla notes behind on the long, sappy, smoky finish. This could handle a rich piece of roasted or braised red meat." - Josh Raynolds (Jul/Aug '11)
93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2008 vintage):"The 2008 Pinot Noir Estate Dussin Vineyard underwent a native fermentation with elevage in 40% new oak. Dark ruby in color, this exceptionally perfumed Pinot displays an aromatic array of wood smoke, toast, floral notes, black cherry, and black raspberry. This leads to an elegantly styled, spicy, focused, impeccably balanced wine with excellent volume, intensity of flavor, and a lengthy, seamless finish. It merits a minimum of 3-4 years of cellaring." - Jay Miller (Oct 2010)
