2009 Olivet Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir

Like any long time friend we all tend to show some age. In this case, this “friend” has developed into a much more complex wine than I ever remember! Perfumed maraschino cherries, strawberry jam, dried spices and cola present a matured sexiness now to this wine. Intense cherry/ wild raspberry flavors end up surrounded by silky tannins and toasty oak. Many of you barrel tasted the 2010 vintage at our Spring Release Pick Up Party and this wine is almost a mirror image—that I believe will age more gracefully.
