Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby with ripe black fruit aromas and earthy spices. Complex on the palate with cherry and blackberry fruit with pepper and cinnamon spice and mocha notes wrapped in fine tannic structure. Well balanced with savory tang on a great mouthfeel finish ending with earthy minerality. Tasting Sample.

Strange mix of cherry pie filling and umami. Reductive. Never really blew off.

When with coworkers, break out the estate Magnum. Super awesome, with a good amount of acid, could still age another 10 years!

Delightful, fruity, full pinot. Raspberry start with a mildly tart finish.
