2009 Block 10 Mass Selection Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir

Aromas of rose petals, fresh raspberries, citrus, black cherry, bacon and hint of wet stones fill your glass. Concentrated raspberry and sweet cranberry flavors gently coat your palate and finish with discreet flavors of earthy spices (cardamom, fennel, thyme and tarragon), sassafrass, mushroom and mineral. The silky tannins and a long, spicy and dense finish succumbs only to the mouth-watering acidity that requires you to take another taste. There is really a great solidity and transparency of this site in every glass. The true persona of this location is very much verbalized in this wine. Crafted to age for a decade or so, but can be enjoyed sooner.
