Tasting notes

2001 Carneros Pinot Noir The 2001 Pinot Noir, “Carneros Vineyard” has a deep Pinot color with an almost purplish hue. Aromas of black cherries, with a hint of toasty wood, ginger and cloves entice in the nose. The wine is showing good weight in the mouth, with ripe, true Pinot Noir flavors. This classic Carneros Pinot has excellent strength, a focused center, and is rich and concentrated. The nerve of the wine is apparent by its balanced tannins and acidity.
