Tasting notes
Sweet herb and forest floor scents jump from the glass of the dark plum/ruby-tinged 2002 Pinot Noir Coastline Vineyard. Broodingly backward, rich, dense, and promising, its masculine, tannic, stacked and packed personality suggests 2-3 years of bottle age will be beneficial. It should last for 12-15 years. Tel.

Good medium ruby. Wild aromas of berry syrup and coffee. Superripe, sweet and large-scaled, with explosive flavors of wild blackberry, white pepper and spices. Very young, strong pinot, finishing with building tannins.
