Review:

Aromas of blueberry, smoky toast, vanilla, earth and minerals. Flavors include cola and blueberry pie with notes of pomegranate and rose. The lingering finish reveals cola and spice.

2006 Vintage Tasting Notes

The nose and texture are arresting. Aromas of toasty baking spice, vanilla and dark fruit lead into the caressingly silky body. The 06 Renelle's features a darker fruit profile than many of the 06 Pinots we've tasted recently, with cassis, black raspberry, and black cherry flavors mingling with creamy cocoa and earth, and a light citrus lift on the harmonious finish. Very yummy now, with the goods to cellar.

Winemaker Scott Neal describes the wine: Bright red color with ruby depth. A full toast oak greets the nose, offering vanilla, red raspberry, and dried cherry. In the mouth the richness offers more dried cherry, black cherry, soft dried lavender, light citrus, rose, and pomegranate. The finish lingers with delicate spice bouquet. Wood is present and integrates nicely with the complex aromatics Renelle’s Block offers.
