2007 Citizen's Cuvee Pinot Noir

From the Methven Family Estate, this is a very demure Pinot Noir. The nose is elegant, with dried flowers, rose hip, and hints of menthol. The mid-palate flavors are ripe with red fruits and bright cherry. This wine finishes soft and clean, with fine tannins. Although it drinks brilliant now, cellaring for 3-5 more years would show classic pinot noir evolution.
