(51% estate fruit, with the rest from Occidental Road vineyard, near the Sonoma Coast): Bright purple. An explosively perfumed bouquet evokes candied dark berries, incense and fresh flowers, with vanilla and star anise accents building with air. Stains the palate with sweet black raspberry and floral pastille flavors. This gained weight and power with air, blending richness and vivacity smoothly. Finishes with outstanding clarity, energy and floral persistence.

The 2009 Pinot Noir Finn wraps around the palate with waves of dark red fruit. This is another plush, deep wine endowed with tremendous depth and sheer textural richness. Dark black cherries, flowers, spices and mint are layered in this effortless, totally gracious Pinot. The dark, sensual style is very inviting. The Finn is made from the best block in the Estate vineyard and another plot in Occidental Road.
