From the estate's highest elevation Pinot Noir vineyard the 2008 Pinot Noir The South Slope (all from Dijon Clone 777) boasts a dark ruby color as well as abundant amounts of dark raspberry and kirsch liqueur-like fruit intermixed with hints of forest floor and flowers. Tightly-knit in the finish with a hint of minerality and beautiful texture it is a promising Pinot that should evolve for a decade.
