Grasshopper Rock Pinot Noir 2009 reviewed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate #197
Ruby colored, the 2009 Earnscleugh Vineyard Pinot Noir reveals slightly closed raspberry and red cherry notes over aromas of damp earth, dried leaves and cinnamon stick. Elegantly fruited in the mouth with a medium body, it has medium level velvety tannins, refreshing acidity and plenty of red berry fruit lingering long into the finish. Drink it now to 2016.
Note: The Wine Advocate considers wines rated 90-95 to be "An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines "
