Note di degustazione
The 2011 Pinot Noir Skyline Vineyard is elegant and supple, with warm notes of forest floor, dried leaves, sweet cherries, game and spice all flowing beautifully to a medium-bodied, supple and seamless style on the palate. A very feminine style, with no hard edges, impeccably integrated acidity and superb overall integration and balance, this is one classy Pinot Noir that can be drunk anytime over the coming decade.

The 2011 Pinot Noir Skyline Vineyard is all about tension, energy and length. Nothing in particular stands out in a wine that boasts terrific balance and pedigree. Readers will have to be patient with this superb, finely crafted Pinot. There is a lot to admire in the 2011's cool, mineral-driven personality, even if it will be a few years before the wine is ready to show all of its cards. The 2011 was made with 60% whole clusters.
(60% whole clusters and 40% new oak): Deep red. Pungent, high-pitched aromas of raspberry, blood orange, sandalwood and fresh flowers. Juicy and sharply focused, offering penetrating red fruit and rose pastille flavors and a sexy Asian spice flourish. Subtly sweet, delicate and alluringly perfumed on the gently tannic finish, which shows superb clarity and length. This wine clocks in at 12.6% alcohol.
