Boedecker Cellars Pinot noir Cherry Grove Vineyard 08

2008 Wine Advocate - 93 points - The 2008 Pinot Noir Cherry Grove Vineyard comes from a site just north of Gaston. It spent 9 months in 50% new oak followed by another 9 months in neutral barrels. A brooding bouquet of blue and black fruits, balsam wood, Asian spices, and floral aromas titillate the nose. In the glass it exhibits layered, rich, succulent fruit and enough fine-grained tannin to sustain an additional 3-4 years of cellaring. This pleasure-bent effort will be at its best from 2014 to 2023. - Jay Miller

2008 Wine Spectator - 91 points - Light and fragrant, with dark berry flavors and meaty, spicy overtones, folding together neatly as the finish lingers impressively. Drink now through 2016. - H.S.
