The dark plum-colored 1997 Pinot Noir Cuvee Isabelle is excellent. Aromas of damp earth, black cherries, sweet candied plums, and herbs are generous as well as persistent. The wine is medium-bodied, with decent acidity, light to moderate tannin, and a fine finish. It should be consumed over the next 3-4 years.
