Savory and earthy on the nose, but still all fruit on the palate. Needs a little more time for the flavor to catch up with the aromas, but still highly enjoyable.

Nice aromatics, very soft tannin and acidity, would pair nicely with a slice of Margarita pizza

Nice medium weight Pinot with good fruit, more spicy than elegant but food with barbecued chicken

A bit richer than the average Pinot noir but still really great. Picked this up at a brewery in silver spring.

Young, tasty and so drinkable. Fruit forward but not overwhelming. Delish w BBQ, chocolate and simply on its own.
