The 2006 Jensen Pinot Noir has gorgeous ruby color and a perfumed bouquet of dark plum, briar spice, cranberry and tiny pinches of both anise and orange zest.  A restrained slate minerality and subtle smokiness pulls you into a palate of mouthwatering black cherry and dark spice.  This wine is restrained, yet bright, flavorful, juicy, graceful and persistent.  Typical of Jensen vineyard Pinots, a bit of patience will be richly rewarded.
