Vivid ruby. Expressive aromas of raspberry, strawberry, blood orange and sexy oak spices. Concentrated and lush, with spicy red fruit and candied rose flavors framed but not overwhelmed by smoky oak. Shows very good balance and finishes bright and sappy, with supple tannins and lingering floral character.

The 2009 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard is an exotic wine laced with Asian spices, orange peel, leather, tar and spices, all of which add complexity to the the dark red fruit. By the aromatic lift, I would have guessed there were some stems here, but the fruit was totally destemmed. The finish is pointed and nicely articulated, even if I don't find a ton of Rosella's character here.

Spicy and peppery, in a stemmy way, this intense, full-bodied red delivers fresh, vibrant acidity and density, with loamy earth and dried berry notes. Greatly in need of cellaring.

has a delicate, hi-toned nose of rose petal, cherry and creamy vanilla. The palate delivers a pleasant, dusty lilac and geranium/herb entry with soft essences of raspberry and plum. It has an exotic profile that is nearly aberrant of all the other wines in the lineup.
