Review:
This wine first impresses with an intensely deep hued wine that is brilliant, but nearly opaque
to the intensity of color. The nose greats with spice and the scent of a cedar cigar box along with dark cherry,
coffee, and toast. On the palate, the wine is deeply textured and presents itself with sweet luscious
fruit reminiscent of dark pie cherries with spice and the Estate’s signature minerality. The finish is
long with hints of toffee, coffee and more spice. - the winery
2006 Vintage Tasting Notes
Fresh blackberry, boysenberry, black currant and violets waft from the glass. Flavors follow - butterscotch, boysenberry, and fresh earth aromas transition into a heap of dark bramble berry flavors and hints of plums. A fleshy, rich texture in the mouth amplifies the fruit flavors. Like the Renelle's Block, the Estate 06 is deliciously silky, adding savory cardamom spice on the finish and fine tannins. Coeur de Terre's Estate Pinot noir 06 is made from the Renelle, Sarah Jane, Abby, and Tallulah Run blocks of the Coeur de Terre estate vineyard.
