Tasting
This bottling is an aromatic Pinot Noir with a lively personality, expressing strawberries, raspberries and red cherries on the nose, the hallmarks of a classic Pinot grown in a cool terroir. The ruby color in the glass suggests juicy summer red fruits on the palate, intermingled with flavors of freshly ground clove and goji berries. Silky soft tannins and a hint of dried herbs linger on the finish.
Reviews
"My favorite Pinots are the ones grown in cool terroirs favoring late ripening, ideal conditions for this noble variety to produce elegant and lively wines. I crafted this wine in a simple fashion with red cherry scents wafting from the glass, the hallmark of a savory Pinot Noir with appealing length."
