Bright, dark red. High-pitched perfume of blueberry and huckleberry complicated by inky minerality and crushed stone. The palate offers extraordinary wild intensity and medicinal reserve to the densely packed, sharply delineated flavors of black fruits, licorice and pungent minerals. Transcendent, soil-driven pinot noir with the energy and structure for a long and graceful evolution in bottle. Builds endlessly on the aftertaste. This fruit was harvested with 12.8% potential alcohol and chaptalized to 13.4%. One of the potential superstars of the vintage.
