The yield of grapes was less than half-normal due to tiny berries, resulting in bunches that were likewise less than half the usual mass.
Winemakers love the concentration of complexities, bank managers cry over the production levels.
The aromas of this wine are ponderous, filled with dark fruit and earthiness. Elegant flavors of black cherry and plum are laced with a Burgundian complexity reminding one of a butcher shop. Though hard to explain, imagine the aroma sensations found in such a shop where bacon is being sliced and sausage is hanging above. A grip of soft tannin, and excellent length sets this Pinot Noir apart from the ordinary. Serve this wine with grilled seafood or lighter meats.
