J Vineyards Pinot Noir Bateman Vineyard Estate 2009
Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesSmoky, tobacco leaf, carrot top, savory, floral, vanilla, cocoa, peppery, cedar, plum and rhubarb aromas with a light barnyard note. Ripe, round, juicy and warm palate but vibrant. Vanilla, cocoa, tobacco, celery salt, carrot top, strawberry jam, plum, savoury, cedar and orange flavours. Good complexity, finesse and length but again, needs less sweet oak to enhance purity and drive.Tasted: 17 March 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $70.00 | 750ml | estimated retail |
