there is good concentration to the estate-grown fruit, which mixes raspberry, boysenberry and cassis and provides a firm and lasting core of flavor. some tasters may find the wine slightly reductive, with a burnt rubber quality; for others it will just be toasty and a bit tannic. give it time to breathe and it opens up into a full-bodied, flavorful pinot noir with some medium-term aging potential.
