Bjornstad 2007 Pinot Noir Vandenkamp, Sonoma Mountain

Pretty, brilliant garnet color and aromas of darkBjornstad 2007 Pinot Noir ripe cherries and berries fill the glass along with smoky, toasty layers of spices, black tea, sandalwood and cedar. On the palate, the entry is round and rich and the fruit flavors flirt back and forth between red pie cherries and black raspberries alongside earthy qualities and forest duff. The texture builds from the beginning to a round, mouth coating middle with a long persistent finish. Over time, the flavors continue to evolve on the palate with black licorice and savory, spiced meats.
