2006 Belle Pente "Murto Vineyard" Pinot Noir

For many of our longtime customers, Belle Pente and Murto are almost synonymous. We've bottled wine from Mike and Robin Murto's terrific Dundee Hills vineyard since our first vintage in 1996, and it's been a mainstay of our portfolio ever since.

Like the mailman, Murto always delivers, and it did not shy from the task in 2006.  Complex spicy, earthy, brambly aromas lead to a fresh, focused palate dripping with medium-ripe red fruit flavors over silky, polished tannins. An absolutely classic Dundee Hills Pinot Noir!

Although this wine has a youthful exuberance that makes it pretty attractive now, it should become even more interesting with a few years in the cellar.
