Laura Volkman Vineyards St. James Pinot noir 08

Laura Volkman Vineyards St. James Pinot noir 08 - Put the glass to your nose and experience a complex, perfumed scent of roses, blue and black berries, and sweet spices. This fine example of the 2008 vintage is concentrated and round, with a sense of expansion on the palate. Gushing with flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, briar, herbs, and roses, it finishes with lots of fruit and a refreshing lilt that counters and balances the big, rich flavors. An amazing wine for the price. - Jean
