2006, Hagafen Cellars, Prix Fagan Creek Vineyard Block 38 Reserve Pinot Noir

This reserve bottling once again shocks with its reflection of site-specific character.  It presents aromas of smoky bacon, cocoa and roasted espresso beans, complimented by notes of cherry, clove, cinnamon, and anise.  Its mouth-filling red and black licorice compliments long-finishing, tannin-wrapped hints of creamy cherry.  Dare we say the joie de vivre of Burgundian attitude with the best of New World fruit?  Its dark, smoky, and spicy distinctiveness will age for many years to come.
