卡勒拉蘆葦園黑皮諾干紅葡萄酒

點擊次數：7163

Notes of sassafras, damp earth, plums, Allspice, cinnamon, and beet root jump from the glass of the dark ruby-colored 2002 Pinot Noir Reed Vineyard. Distinctively earth and spice-driven, it possesses abundant underlying fruit, an excellent texture, fine purity, and moderate tannin. Give it another 1-2 years of cellaring, and enjoy it over the following 5-9 years. Tel. (831) 637-9170

There are Pinots that are darker in color and fuller in body in California, but few approach this bottling in complexity or apparent ageability. The airy, silky texture holds a wealth of flavors, ranging from red cherries, pomegranates, rhubarb and espresso to cola and vanilla spice. This is a Burgundian-styled wine that will improve through 2012. ——S.H.(7/1/2006)—— 93
