Incredible wine. I would struggle to come up with Pinot in a blind as this is big and pretty extracted with a beautiful, seamlessly woven dose of new oak. None of the mushroom or forest floor quality you might expect. Would be happy just smelling this wine all day long. Needs lots of air or 5-10 years in the cellar.

A JK Carriere of momentous proportion, with a decidedly Burgundian sensibility, the 2004 Antoinette opens with expressive aromas of damp tilth, forest floor, roasted game, cranberry compote and rose hips. There is a wildness to this wine that is difficult to pinpoint, solitary treks through pristine forest in the Olympic Peninsula come to mind. The acid, the purity of fruit and absolute terroir shines through. Masculine yet elegant, it finishes with dried herbs, mint and pink peppercorn.
