This best-barrel ‘reserve’ bottling is both mouth-filling and gorgeous now plus shows the potential to evolve gracefully. Muscular and powerful from the get-go, the bouquet and palate are deftly balanced with a cornucopia of full-throttle fruit flavors including dark berry, black cherry, raspberry, and hints of baking spices and black tea on the majestic finish. A deliciously weighty new Pinot with a nearly immaculate texture that may be savored now (after decanting) and anytime for up to 7 years.
