2008 "Brosseau" Chalone Pinot Noir
$42.00
This wine opens with an expressive nose that resolves into floral blackberry, mint, spice, rich cherry, and cola, all stitched together with a background of minerality. The aromas expand to include rich hints of cured meats and sweet molasses drifting in and out of the floral blackberry notes with additional fruit layers of light strawberry. The mineral quality carries through to the palate, supported by soft, mouth-coating tannins. With further breathing, the finish lengthens to include spicy oak and nuances of black licorice and violet pastilles.
