2008 Red Letter Pinot Noir 13.4%
Intensely sweet floral aromas emerge first from the glass, followed by subtle autumnal notes that accent the waxy red raspberry and pomegranate fruits. Tense and crisp in the mouth with a rich, deep impression of sweetness. Yet the razor-fine balance keeps this fresh and lively with a tight, slightly austere finish that slowly reveals hints of the potential here with its notes of cranberry and black raspberry framed with gently smoky oak. Already very attractive, this has a lot going on that bodes well for the future. 93pts

How do biodynamic wines differ from organic wines? Do they have less sulfites and are they better for migraine suffers who are sensitive to sulphites?
