Balanced, elegant, focused, and very clearly representative of our estate’s terroir. The color is a beautiful mix of garnet and ruby. Aromatically dynamic, floral notes with bright red fruit and spice fill the bouquet and palate. It is a mix of roses and violets with red hills earth, white pepper, red currant, cassis, light vanilla, pomegranate and warm cherry pie. On the palate, the texture is layered and complex, and the finish is quite long with well integrated tannins that will round in time. - Laurène is an essay in balance. Its color is both brilliant red and deep ruby. The nose has the spice character of 2011 - anise, clove & tea – with further notes of baked fig, rhubarb and pomegranate. On the palate, the texture is both light & viscous, with mouth coating tannins, and flavors of spice & ripe raspberries with a touch of tartness. The exceptionally long finish leaves you with sweet, lush fruit & wonderfully bright layers. While intensely woven now, a couple years of cellaring, or decanting, will reveal silk, elegance and an expressive depth of texture. Enjoy now, and over the next 8-10 years.
- Aromatically, there are discreet pear flavors combined with a touch of fresh almonds and mint. The palate is finely balanced with a wonderful round texture and excellent length.
- Rich, robust, and gorgeous right now. The aromas are powerful and ripe, billowing with dark cherries, kirsch, and cocoa powder. The supple, weighty flavors of amarena cherries and blackberries pick up cinnamon, dried thyme, and a splash of cream before the persistent, sweet fruit sails on the finish.
- The combination of elements produces a velvety soft Pinot noir, deep and complex, while infusing vibrant aromas of sweet rose, red cherry, black cherry, dried cherry, a distinctive wildness at core, finishing with hints of vanilla and complex spice. Dusky Goose Pinot noir demonstrates a structure that seamlessly balances the acidity and tannins with a satin-like texture. Natural variations from vintage to vintage keep the interest alive, making exploring all vintages essential. We trust that you will enjoy the Dusky Goose Dundee Hills Pinot noir for all of life's occasions!
