Kendall-Jackson Jackson Estate Outland Ridge Pinot Noir 2012
Anderson Valley, Mendocino County, California, United StatesRaspberry, peppery, smoky, red currant, carrot top, celery salt, briar and vanilla aromas with a touch of barnyard. Ripe, round, fresh, juicy and elegant but intense palate with light, smooth tannins. Raspberry jam, peppery, tobacco leaf, cedar, smoky, coffee, savoury herb, carrot and compost flavours with a vanilla, licorice finish. A bit warm and oaky now but super fruit, balance and intensity. Drinkable now but will improve with 2-5 years. Fine effort here.Tasted: 06 December 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:US | $35.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
