Note di degustazione
Good deep red. Aromas of raspberry, cherry, sassafras and smoky, spicy oak, along with a leesy note reminiscent of Champagne Sweet, supple and lush, with a fine-grained texture and strong oak spice. Became increasingly smoky with aeration. Clings nicely on the end, finishing with sweet tannins and a slight burnt note from the oak.

The 2002 Pinot Noir Botella exhibits a saturated ruby/purple color as well as a tight but promising nose of cassis, macerated black cherries, forest floor, and subtle oak. Although still primary, it is loaded. It possesses a rich, full-bodied, pure palate with seamlessly integrated acidity and tannin. A 30+ second finish adds to the joy. While accessible, another 1-2 years of cellaring will result in something quite special. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2012. Tel. (805) 737-1600
