J. K. Carriere Antoinette Pinot noir 09

The wine is translucent cherry in color, with a nose of candied cherry, spice, smoke, oil-cured olives, soy sauce and dusty strawberries. Medium weight on the palate, it shows flavors of strawberry taffy, PEZ and cherry compote with nice grip. The wine fairly cuts the divide of sweet and sour, and will continue to further complex with time. - Jim Prosser

2006 Vintage Tasting Notes

Deep garnet in color, the wine is an overflowing cart of ripe cherry and fresh raspberry. This Pinot snaps the green vine overtones that tether it and spills complex cherry and savory caramel hell-bent across your palate.
