Tasting Notes:Deep garnet in color, the 2009 Witness Tree Estate Pinot Noir is powerful and yet full of grace with aromas of dark, primary fruits with intense perfume and spice driven qualities. On the palate the wine is round, full and satiny with notes of black cherries, rhubarb, dried herbs and baking spices. The finish is fresh and clean with well-integrated tannins and acid. Though drinking well in its youth, it will definitely reward the patient cellarer. Enjoy this wine with traditional beef and lamb dishes as well as smoked salmon, pork, and cheese.
