The 2009 Estate Pinot Noir has a very pale ruby color and a moderately intense nose of cranberries, red cherries, forest floor, dried Provence herbs and lavender. Light to medium-bodied, it has good fruit concentration supported by low to medium levels of grainy tannins and a firm acid backbone. The finish is long and earthy with a herbal lift. Drink this one now to 2015. 89 points
