Top Notes For

Sipping Fine Wine

9.4

Ruby color, slight purple edges, with aromas of red fruits, forest floor and floral spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with cedar notes, tea, cola, black pepper, cinnamon spice and earthy herbs. Full-bodied, fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, sweet oak and a spicy earthy character. Pair this with a grilled salmon or pork chop!

Well balanced but dry. Not a true Pinot in my mind...too tannic not enough jammy fruit
