Carlton Cellars Cape Lookout Pinot noir 08

Winery: Carlton Cellars

Carlton Cellars Cape Lookout Pinot noir 08 - Great value 2008 Pinot.

Situated between the estate vineyards of Soter (Mineral Springs) and Ken Wright (Abbott's Claim), Carlton Cellars' Russell Grooter Vineyard is an exciting new source for Pinot noir. well-drained Wellsdale soils take full advantage of the mild Pacific breeze. The vines typically yield bright red berry, deep black fruit, and dark chocolate notes. Previous Vintage Tasting Note

Wild raspberry and cinnamon scents introduce the Cape Lookout. Creamy red raspberry and blackberry fruit flavors are accented by a hint of sweet spice. The wine expands in the mouth - red cherries and a sense of minerality join the mix. Silky tannins are discernable and enhance the sense of this as an ideally complete wine. The Cape Lookout has rich complexity and a layered, voluptuous finish. 177 cases made.
