New listing from a rejuvenated old producer. Very stylish, light pinot noir with bright, fresh aromas of cherry, vanilla, spice and vague pine scents. Slender, yet well structured (like so many 2005s), with a slightly tart, dry, slightly tannic finish. Very good length. Best 2009 to 2011. Vintages Essential.
