~WINEMAKER'S NOTES 2009 This Pinot Noir has bright aromas of ripe black cherry, floral notes and subtle earthy characteristics of forest floor and mushroom. The wine's palate is fruit forward with pronounced flavors of cherry and tamarind. The flavor of the wine is also highlighted by sweet oak and vanilla notes. The wine is well rounded with a smooth mouthfeel and lingering silky tannins.
