This cool weather Pinot Noir has a dark ruby core, which extends to a noticeably lighter rim. Aromas of bright cherry and raspberry precede undertones of subtle earth and spice. Well-rounded and voluptuous mid-palate maintains balance and finesse through a long and intriguing finish.

Bold dark garnet core surrounded by a pink rim with hints of brick. Full and rich in the nose with warm toasty oak surrounded bright red cherry and raspberry fruit. A hint of licorice candy plays over light wet peat, orange zest, and a touch of black truffle. Very approachable on the front of the palate, bringing great spice over black cherry. Nice ripe tannic support on the mid-palate, bringing in more raspberry and strawberry fruit flavors with edges of vanilla and toasted oak. A hint of minerality underscores the spicy fruit finish. This wine is showing incredibly well for drinking right now.
