The nose starts off with a bit of graphite or flint and evolves with pie cherry, tea leaf, ginger snaps, and black licorice. The supple yet linear structure will hold up over a good aging, but will loosen to a more silky, open profile with a bit of time in the cellar or glass. It's a hard line to walk, being elegant yet dense, young yet traditional, but somehow this Ribbon Ridge Pinot continues to skate the lines beautifully.
