Peacock Pinot Noir Martinelli Ranch 2008
Dense, deep and rich, this full mesmerizing Pinot features opulent fruit on the front palate while maintaining an ageworthy elegance for enjoyment over the next 5 years (for anyone that can wait that long). Launching out of the glass with bold strawberry and raspberry intermixed with black tea, semi-sweet chocolate, caramel and a hint of savory spices and smoky bacon on the finish. This prodigious wine will enhance a wide array of roasted game tonight (after decanting 30 minutes) or any evening over the next 5 – 7 years, peaking around 2018 in our estimate.
