Beaulieu Vineyard, Coastal Estates
Pinot Noir
Napa Valley
California
2011
$10
Youthful, medium ruby color. Quite aromatic, this vintage showcases black cherry, anise, and dried herb aromas reflecting its cool-climate origins and outstanding fruit maturity. On the palate, it is already quite rich in fruit, with medium body, a round velvety texture meshed with balanced acidity and lots of spicy-cherry, cocoa and minerally flavors.
My Review:
This wine has a dark, rich purple color, with a low to medium viscosity. On the nose, I get dark fruit, blackberry, plum, leather, tobacco and oak. It is earthy, with components of blue cheese and mushroom. I also get hints of black pepper, vanilla and spice. On the initial taste, it is dry yet full bodied with a smooth mouth feel. There is a sweet floral characteristic that is a nice break from some of the fruitier reds. This wine is overall very round and complex. I will be getting this one again!
