The 2008 Pinot Noir Cuvée Elizabeth reveals a deep ruby color followed by a complex bouquet of ripe cherries, black raspberries, spring flowers, forest floor, and subtle smoky oak. Medium to full-bodied, it is layered and expansive on the palate, with excellent concentration, silky tannins, and a plush yet balanced texture. The wine shows both richness and precision, with a long, seamless finish underscored by spice and minerality. It is already attractive but should continue to evolve gracefully over the next several years.
