Deep Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, floral notes and baking spice. On the palate flavors of juicy cherry and ripe strawberry with pepper, floral notes and cinnamon spice. Full-bodied, fine smooth tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice and an earthy mineral character. Nice!

Among our favorite Pinots. Velvety smooth. Chocolate, plums, cherries, with slight acid undertones. Long, luscious finish.

Deliciously chewy! Peppery but also floral. Enjoyable with nice lingering finish. One of our dependable favorites.
