Lucas J. Pinot Noir Sangiacomo Vineyards Roberts Road Swan Clone 2009

Nose:  Primary grape and fruit punch with big power, bright raspberry and cherry undertones, like the Kool Aid guy busting through your wall; Lavender, little bit of oak and orange blossom – the nose is broad and loud just really big primary fruit characters screaming out of the glass

Palate: fresh raspberry and cherry cobbler, medium toasted oak, big acidity, long, delicate finish with nicely softened tannins, briary and a bit wild feeling, but overall a pretty subtle wine.This wine is leaner on the palate than on the nose and opens a lot over time with a round, clean mouth feel.
