2009 Brooks Rastaban Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir
13.8% alc., $50. Rastaban is a star, the eye of the
dragon in the constellation Draco. This wine is composed of the most complete and intense barrels in the
cellar and represents the best effort for the vintage. 100% estate fruit.
·
Medium reddish-purple color in the
glass. Aromas of very ripe black cherries, sassafras, prune and a slight medicinal note. Moderately lush core
of dark raspberry, black cherry and dark chocolate flavors creating quite a noticeable mid palate impression
and finishing long and powerful. A juicy wine with lift from good acidity in the background. Soft in the mouth
with balanced tannins. Bogged down with slightly jammy fruit and ripeness. Good (+).
