(14%) An expressive and refined nose of layered and pure cassis, red berries and plum leads to very rich, full-bodied, concentrated and well-muscled flavors blessed with ample dry extract and excellent depth. This is not quite as refined as the Beacon Hill and there is a discreet hint of backend warmth but overall, this is almost as impressive.

($60) Medium red color. Zesty red berry aromas quickly give way to darker suggestions of spicy blackberry and blackcurrant. Fresh and precise, with impressive focus to the luscious red and dark berry flavors. Dusty minerality and gentle tannins frame the sweet, sappy berry flavors on the very long, suave, silky finish. This is extremely sexy wine.

The 2006 Pinot Noir Mineral Springs has an especially expressive bouquet with floral notes, pain grille, damp earth, black raspberry, and blueberry. On the palate, the wine is layered, bordering on opulent. The savory, ripe, spicy dark fruit flavors persist into a lengthy, velvety textured finish.
