Block Nine Pinot is beautifully long and rich in ripe cherry and berry flavors. The aromas exhibit generous bright fruit with a mix of strawberry, violets, plum, tea, and a hint of clove. Flavorful and silky in the mouth with good body, this wine is seductive showing wild cherries and a hint of sandalwood to complete its complex finish.
Wine Spectator
“Bright yellow-gold. Aromas of musky pear skin, quinine, pungent flowers and dusty minerals. Sappy and floral on the palate, offering pliant orchard fruit flavors braced by zesty minerality. Closes with slow-building sweetness and strong punch; ample and rounded yet energetic Champagne, the way I remember this bottling from the early 1990s.”
