1996 Olivet Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir

Dark ruby color; black cherry, vanilla, violets, plum and cedar nose; mouthful of black stone fruits, with some raspberry framboise flavors; a big, slightly alcoholic, wine with good balance of ripe tannin and depth insuring its ability to age and encouraging you to do so. Please give this wine time to come together (1-5 years) or drink with barbecued beef or other rich dishes, this is not a delicate Pinot Noir. Alcohol 14.9%
