Etude Heirloom Pinot Noir Estate Grown 2008
Carneros, Napa Valley, California, United StatesEnticing raspberry, cherry jam, spicy, ginger, liquorice nose with orange peel and tobacco aromas. Ripe, full, round, suave palate with juicy acidity and bright strawberry jam, cherry, vanilla, compost, barnyard, tobacco, orange, chocolate and celery root flavours. Good elegance with some warmth (alcohol) and a long, suave, fruity finish. A super pinot made with rescued, old heritage pinot clones. Instructive and illuminating. Grilled salmon would be good here.Tasted: 07 March 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:QC | $89.00 | 750ml | |
