The 2008 Pinot Noir Calkins Lane Vineyard gives up a lovely perfume of spicy red fruits, spice, floral notes, and woodsy underbrush. Satin-textured, elegant, impeccably balanced, and seamless, it will reward 2-3 years of cellaring and offer a drinking window extending from 2012 to 2020.
Adelsheim Vineyards’ 2008 Pinot Noirs are uniformly outstanding as they were able to take advantage of the great fruit provided by the vintage.
