2003 Pinot Noir Irene's Vineyard
Sonoma County
As you draw in the complex bouquet of cherries, berries, boiled chanterelle mushroom and spiced beets you are compelled to take a sip—stunned by the forward cherry-berry, candied fruit and hint of mint you are further drawn into this romance by the mouth watering lush acidity that finishes in a bold yet soft bed of vanilla and plush tannins.
