Del Dotto – Cinghiale Vineyard – Pinot Noir 2010 – Sonoma Coast

The nose is fruity and offers a slight concentration. It reveals notes of plum, blueberry and slight notes of cassis combined with touches of black cherry as well as slight touches of liquorice and a very discreet hint of tobacco. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a slight acid frame, a slight racy minerality, gourmandise, a good volume, a very slight suavity as well as silkiness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe plum, fleshy cassis, cherry, plum, blackberry and slight notes of dried raspberry combined with slight touches of small wild berries, discreet touches of sweet spices, very slight toasted touches as well as discreet touches of chocolate and tobacco. Good persistence. The persistence is slightly powerful.
