Delicate. Minerality is wonderful.

Slight oak / barrel on the nose, which underlines the pungent, almost funky earth aromas. Thin body but substantial herbaceous and dried fruit flavors. Reminiscent of Langhe Nebbiolo

Long and slow legs with a iridescent maroon color. Huge bouquet on the nose with a tiny hint of cardamom. I will admit that I was cutting garlic so the florals might have been more dramatic ha! Burst of juiciness upfront that tapers into a tea-like body with the perfect amount of dryness on the finish. Prominent tasting notes I get are strawberry and wildflower honey. Honey stays on the finish with a mild heat that dissipates pretty quickly. One of the better Pinots I’ve had in quite some time!
