If pinot noir is feminine, this one is a stunning beauty.

Gorgeous almost luminescent magenta in the glass with a nose that is equal parts floral and candied red fruit and leather funk. This drinks like a silky pomegranate aril with a touch of cola nut and vanilla thrown in.

Carneros fruit is astounding when done right, y'all.

v17. Very good! Enticing, wafting smoke nose. Juicy, rich, black cherry fruit. Smooth, bright, pleasantly tart, long mineral finish. Enjoyable!

Great aged pinot with forestry and mushroom things going on intertwined with cranberries and rhubarb!
