Fulcrum Tina Marie Vineyard Russian River Pinot Noir 2008
Editorial Review by Gregory Dal Piaz:
Lovely on the nose, with some youthful oak backing up really perfumed fruit. This has wonderfully fresh floral tones, a light herbal top note with a hint of green tea and spicy red currant/cranberry fruit. This enters the mouth with a really light character and gains only a modest amount of weight through the mid-palate. The fruit is bright and pure, and with the oak adding a bit of weight at this point while muting the aromatic slightly. The backend sees more depth and weight, with a rush of watermelon followed by dark cherry fruits dusted lightly with vanilla. This is subtle and elegant, with superb balance and length. The finish really shows the potential of the wine, so this might be better with a few more months in bottle. 92pts
