(2009 Vintage) " A deft touch of wood sets off wonderfully spicy and exceptionally fresh aromas of both blue and black pinot fruit that give way to supple and very seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess silky tannins and excellent length. There is a touch of warmth on the finish though it's not really enough to significantly affect the overall sense of balance." 89-91 points. Burghound
