2008 Bonaccorsi Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard

(raised in all Francois Freres barrels, 60% of them new): Bright ruby-red. Captivating aromas of cherry-vanilla, licorice, mocha and smoky Indian spices. Sweet, concentrated and chewy, with powerful but lithe dark fruit flavors and a sexy note of allspice. Displays a very suave aromatic character and finishes with silky, fully integrated tannins and impressive length.
