Cherry Hill Winery Pinot noir "Papillon" 04

Pleasantly perfumed nose with hints of pie cherry and raspberry. The flavors are fresh raspberry, pie cherry, hints of black currant and lovely well integrated tannins. Moderately long finish, a lot of wine for $20. Age for 3-5 years and appreciate this true-to-the-fruit Pinot. -jy

MORE INFORMATION

From the winery: "PAPILLON estate Pinot Noir is a blend of our two Dijon clones 115 and 113. Papillon (a small French breed of dog) is our biggest and boldest pinot noir. This wine which tastes of cherries and chocolate is our most macho wine which is proving to be a favorite of the cigar crowd. This wine will mellow and improve with age and the tannins will soften."
