From the winery: This wine has had a bit of time to age, and along with flavors of black cherry and raspberry there is a dusty cola/mocha component from the oak. It is involved and complex, with earth and truffle secondary flavors and aromas. The real story of our 2004 Dundee Hills is the texture and structure; the excellent balance of sugar, acid, and tannins in the grapes is reflected in the wine. Here is what our Pinot Noir is all about - tightly structured, with the fruit and acid for long-term aging, yet the tannins are soft, smooth, and polished. Properly cellared, this is a wine that should easily last up to eight years and could continue to age and develop for twelve years or more.

This wine is full of bright fruit flavor and spicy oak, with the potential of aging magnificently.

From the winery: "Blended with grapes from our three oldest blocks of vines, this wine is complex offering full flavor on the palate and a long, smooth finish."
