Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2009 Single Vineyard Southern Clays Pinot Noir is scented of ripe red cherries, black raspberries and fertile loam with hints of underbrush and mossy bark. Medium bodied, it has a good line of refreshing acid and a low to medium level of grainy tannins supporting the muscular fruit, finishing long and earthy. Drink it now to 2015.
