Great weight and texture on the Pyramid Valley Earth Smoke Pinot Noir. Dense but mouth-coating, with brighter fruit flavors than the nose might suggest: blueberry, blackberry, sloe. Salinity, from significant active lime in the soil, waters the mouth, extending an already obdurate length. Whereas, with vine age, the Angel Flower is adding content to its early charm, the Earth Smoke seems to be marrying fruit succulence to its established, adamantine, soil-sponsored clout.
