Heirloom Carneros Estate Pinot Noir
Carneros, North Coast, California, USA
Gracefully aging and med-full-bodied, this Pinot Noir is at its apex and loaded with nutty dark red fruit and balsam wood. Elegant as all get out. Drink up.

Briar notes and cinnamon on the nose. Started effervescent, but that blew off after a few minutes. Palete is consistent with cloves and black raspberries. Finishes semi-sweet and dry. Don’t hold these any longer.

2004. Touch of menthol, with typical Carneros black fruits. Fruity and high octane.

The nose is racy and opulent. I love the strawberry and cinnamon interplay, with a smidge of oak. On the palette, the wine is deftly balanced and fully evolved. There's much to celebrate in the glass. Bing cherries, strawberries and spice box draw you in. This wine had shed all of its puppy-fat, and as a result, it represents a text-book example of the varietal. Outstanding in every way.

Found this little gem 2006 while organizing my wine cabinet tonight. Bright, fresh, bold and delicious. Lucky me!

The label may be messed up but the wine inside is not! Really pretty nose. Spicy. Violets. Nutmeg. Floral. Earth on finish. Mushroom.this is the Heirloom label not Deer Camp.

Not the biggest fan of carneros Pinot but this is nice. Slightly earthy tones/background wrapped in a classic carneros blanket. The color is slightly brick colored but this wine easily has a few years left as long as it was properly stored.
