Medium ruby in color the 2009 Pipeclay Pinot Noir presents fragrant notes of warm cranberries and red currants over lavender underbrush and Provence herbs. Medium bodied it gives a superb concentration of red berry flavors in the mouth with a gentle lift of dried herb nuances supported by medium level grainy tannins crisp acid and finishes long. Approachable now it should drink through 2016+.--Lisa Perotti-Brown
