Medium ruby colored, the 2009 Heritage Pinot Noir gives notes of kirsch, warm cranberries and cloves with nuances of forest floor and potpourri. The medium bodied palate presents a structured style with a medium level of grainy tannins and refreshing acidity supporting the muscular fruit. It finishes long and savory. Drinking well now, it should continue to cellar to 2015. Importer: Ronnie Sanders, Vine Street Imports, Philadelphia, PA; Tel: (215) 533 9464
