Brundlmayer’s 2002 Pinot Noir Cecile (named for his daughter) follows in a line of successful, at times striking pinot noirs at this establishment. It is a shame these have seldom shown up in the American market, although high prices may admittedly be a consideration. The enticing aroma of ripe blueberries, wood smoke and resin in this recently-bottled 2002 lead to a juicy, velvet-textured, medium-bodied palate and a luscious finish. Given the performance of past Brundlmayer Pinots, I would not be surprised to witness it taking on weight and complexity with a few years’ bottle age.
