What a good little Pinot to have! Earthy, forest floor notes on the nose with Bing cherry flavors, spicy notes and a good little finish. I'm a fan!

Like fading autumn, where the sun hangs low against a clear November sky, the 2013 Raptor Ridge Pinot Noir Barrel Select offers integrated, finely wrought aromas of red cherries and dried mushrooms, decomposing leaves, woodsy trails and campfire smoke. And yet, it's stunningly fresh on the palate, with vivid acidity lending tension to layers of red fruit and dulcet, savory tones underpinned by iron ore, brown spices and earthiness on the finish. 12.5% ABV | Sample

Super balanced fruit and acid. Drinking well now, but should age very well.

Maybe one of Raptor Ridge's best to date. Amazing complex aromatic profile. Subtle, intriguing red fruit flavors with a very pretty texture & finish. Wow.

Brown spices, red berries. Fine tannins, fresh acidity. Precocious.
