Roots Apolloni Pinot noir 09

2009 Wine Advocate - 91 points - The 2009 Pinot Noir Apolloni Vineyard sports a nose of wood smoke, Asian spices, cherry cola, and raspberry. This sets the stage for a concentrated, sweetly-fruited, elegant wine that reveals considerable complexity. Give it 1-2 years to fully blossom and drink it through 2019. - Jay Miller

2008 Vintage Tasting Notes

Man, this is tasty. The creamiest, most full-bodied of the 2008 Roots line-up. A melange of sweet dark berries keeps giving you more. Ideal acidity balances the seductive sweetness and everything's in its place. Pow-pow, a knockout. Like the others, super-tiny production: 50 cases made.

2007 Vintage Tasting Notes
