2010 Weir Vineyard Pinot Noir

Rainier cherries, sage and wild herbs combine with savory notes to entice the nose, while oak-derived caramel and vanilla bean complete the bouquet. Concentrated flavors of dark fruit along with raspberries, cherry and cola integrate well with broad tannins and well balanced acidity. Lingering minerals, slate and chocolate-coated cherries complete the wine. The palate is very textured with elements of nutmeg, allspice and minerals juxtaposed to notes of mountain strawberry. A refreshing tang to the finish frames the overall suppleness of this unique site. As is typical with this vineyard site, the wine will grow in character and stature as it ages in bottle and the tannins integrate.
