2010 Kesner Pinot Noir Vadim's Watch

(made from fruit grown in the Terra de Promissio Vineyard): Bright ruby-red. Mineral- and spice-accented aromas of black raspberry, sassafras, candied flowers and Asian spices. Deep, incisive red and dark berry flavors show great verve and become spicier with air. The floral note comes back strong on a very long finish featuring supple tannins and a late, lingering note of cherry-cola.
