Maboroshi Vineyard Pinot Noir Reviews

The core flavors of anise, raspberry and savory herb run deep and persistent. Offers a stronger perky, spicy woodiness than the other De Loach Pinots from 2009, and as such may benefit from cellar time.

The raspberry and brambly fruit flavors intermingle with notes of dried rose petals, olive tapenade, cloves and baking spice.

This polished wine offers an array of ripe cherry, pomegranate, persimmon and cola flavors, making it rich and sweet in the mouth. Yet the finish is entirely dry, and you’ll find plenty of scoury acidity to rip through the greasy richness of lamb or duck.
