Note di degustazione
All the best elements of the Gros Ventre style come to life in the 2009 Pinot Noir First Born. Vibrant and beautifully delineated, the 2009 jumps from the glass with juicy dark cherries, plums, flowers and cloves. There is a level of pure juiciness and depth in the 2009 First Born that separates from the rest of the wines I tasted from Gros Ventre this year. If the winery can match this level in more typical Pinot vintages, the results should be stunning. There is a lot to like in this voluptuous, highly pleasing wine.

Ruby-red. Intensely perfumed bouquet of dark berries, cherry-cola, anise and rose oil, with notes of cola and white pepper in the background. Fleshy and broad, offering unlikely energy to its deeply pitched cherry and black raspberry preserve flavors. The floral and cola notes carry through the long, seamless, sweet finish.
