Winemaker's notes: The 2005 Hawks View Vineyard Pinot Noir has a rich aroma, a mix of mild leather, dark cherries with a note of caramel. As the wine is exposed to more air, more cherry fruit and earthy notes appear. The flavors are of red and dark cherries followed by cranberries and red currant notes. The wine has great acid presence, showcasing the great fruit. The mouth-feel is rich and full with just a hint of edgy tannins. The aftertast is rich and sweet with layers of red fruits, earth notes and light pepper spiciness. The wine has a good, medium sweet texture, with soft tannins that still show a little edge in the after taste. |
