2010 Etude Pinot Noir Temblor Vineyard Estate

Good bright, dark red. Raspberry, dark cherry, musky coffee, smoke and earth on the nose. Rich, dense and sweet, with very good sappiness and depth to the raspberry, black cherry, spice and mineral flavors. Conveys a cooler-climate character and a more tightly coiled spring than the Deer Camp bottling. The sappy finish is accented by herbs and spices.
