The 2006 Pinot Noir Quailhurst Vineyard is medium/dark ruby-colored with an expressive bouquet of spice box, smoke, cherry, and black raspberry. This leads to a wine with a silky texture, some grip, and enough structure to develop for another 1-2 years. There is plenty of ripe, succulent fruit and a pure, 40-second finish. It should be at its best from 2010 to 2016.
