Cirq Pinot Noir Bootleggers Hill Vineyard 2014

The tantalizing bouquet of fresh violets, lavender, and strawberry scones introduces a panoply of high-tone flavors including raspberry, Darjeeling tea, plus hints of persimmon and subtle, supporting oak on the finish. A truly profound wine, this distinguished new CIRQ Pinot display an intriguing combination of sumptuous dark fruit while maintaining an ethereal quality rarely found in Pinots outside the rarified air (and four digit prices) of Grand Cru Burgundy. Enjoy tonight (after decanting) or anytime through 2027.
