2002 PINOT NOIR SOUTHEAST BLOCK RESERVE

2002 PINOT NOIR SOUTHEAST BLOCK RESERVE Wine Details
Price: $38.00 per bottle

Description: 205 cases produced. The Southeast Block is a six-acre section of the Estate vineyard planted to the Pommard clone in 1979. This block consistently provides exceptional fruit of distinctive character. In this complex wine from a great vintage, damp earth and vibrant forest tones vie with blueberry, peach preserve and white plum aromas on the nose. On the palate it displays an almost resinous intensity of fruit with layers of black cherry, red gooseberry and blackberry swirling among copious but polished tannins. The wine displays an exceptionally long finish. While tempting now for its power and concentration, the wine will integrate more completely with a bit of bottle age and promises to drink well for many years.
