Take, for example, the 2008 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard. Dark plum/garnet in color, with an evolved but super-complex nose of smoked herbs, sweet black cherries, plum, and pomegranate as well as forest floor, the wine hits the palate with a sweet, expansive, savory mouthfeel, full-bodied flavors with a touch of smoky wood in the background, and a broad, long finish that is fresh and authoritative. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.

Intense and vibrant, with rich wild berry, cola, mineral and spice flavors that are pure, structured and full-bodied, ending with tannins that give the flavors traction.
