The 2009 Pinot Noir Reuling Vineyard emerges from the glass with freshly cut flowers, spices, tar, black cherries and plums. High-toned floral notes add lift and brightness throughout. Hints ot sweet herbs and tobacco wrap around the finish. The Reuling is planted with the Calera clone and suitcase clone from Vosne-Romanée, which in this vintage seems to give the wine an exotic, spiced dimension that is totally intriguing.
