Pinot Noir
Top Notes For
Amazing purity of fresh Pinot Noir fruit on the nose. Deep limestone inflected strawberry. Almost floral. Although the color is very light, on the palate there is a depth here that is beyond the typical Sancerre rose. Only quibble is that, at 14.5%, the acids are correspondingly lower than I’d prefer. But the pure minerality subs in nicely.
