Winemaker Notes
It's most similar to the 2002 Finn bottling which has become majestic in its maturity and one would anticipate this bottling to age gracefully for at least a decade. As with all great wines, there's a naturally limited supply, so carefully select the occasion to open this treasure.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2009 Pinot Noir Finn wraps around the palate with waves of dark red fruit. This is another plush, deep wine endowed with tremendous depth and sheer textural richness. Dark black cherries, flowers, spices and mint are layered in this effortless, totally gracious Pinot. The dark, sensual style is very inviting. The Finn is made from the best block in the Estate vineyard and another plot in Occidental Road. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2021.

Connoisseurs' Guide
It is easy to make the case that this one is the ripest and most full-bodied of the DuMOL lot, but, once again, the wine is not near to being over-the-top or outsized, and its ripeness never pushes fruit from center stage. Supple and fleshy with a feel of substance and very rich in sweet oak, it is the kind of Pinot that wants drinking with savory, slowly braised dishes such as Boeuf Bourguignon, and, of the bunch, it is the one we would chose to drink first.
