International Wine Report
"The
Gunsalus Vineyard Pinot Noir
comes from Gold ridge sandy loam and aged 20 months.
It has a very expressive nose, with aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, damp forrest floor,
followed by hints of spice and fresh rose. Great mouth feel with a velvety texture and spicy
finish. Showing really well now with some air, and will develop nicely over the next decade.
(Best 2016-2026) "
Product Description:
"Our 2012 Gunsalus pinot is a bright, vibrant, and beautifully integrated wine. The aroma is broad, dense, and slightly
brooding, and woven with threads of sweet dark cherry, sarsaparilla, gingerbread, tobacco, dark spice, and red licorice.
The palate is lively and the texture is thick, rich, silky and sexy; playing well with black cherry, cedar, and diced mixed
dark berry flavors with a hint of cinnamon. This toothsome wine finishes with fine-grained tannins and a bit of black
pepper on the finish. A fascinating and delicious wine." - Winery
