2011 Pinot Noir Block 5

Tasting Date: October 2012

Subtle aromas of exotic spices, dark roses, violets and dried red fruits. The palate is instantly about texture, richness, copious fine dark tannin and hints of spice; but fruit takes a distant back seat somewhere way down in the darkness. In a few years the treasure chest will no doubt open, but right now it is all intrigue. Polished and seamless with the usual luxuriant Block 5 finish.
