Concentration, extract and perfume increase with the 350 case lot of 1998 Pinot Noir West Block. Aged in 100% new Francois Freres oak barrels, it exhibits an alluring bouquet of black raspberries, flowers and cherry liqueur. Rich and medium to full-bodied, with gorgeous purity as well as symmetry, this multidimensional Pinot Noir will require 1-2 years of bottle age in order to shed its aggressive tannin. It will last for a decade. The best chance of obtaining any of these wines is to get on the winery’s mailing list, or at least on the waiting list to get on the mailing list. Tel.
