Aberrant Cellars 2009 Pinot Noir Confero is a five vineyard blend from several AVAs ( American Viticultural Area) that was made with 10% whole clusters and spent 10 months in 28% new French oak. Medium ruby red in color, it exhibits an enticing nose of cedar, damp earth, allspice, clove, rose petal, and cherry. This sets the stage for a savory, velvety-textured, concentrated wine with good depth and moderate length. Drink this tasty offering over the next 5-6 years. Tel.
