Other than a slightly disjointed alcoholic heat, the structure is well-integrated. Good length. Drink now

Dec 16th, 2016Medium Ruby color with juicy red fruit aromas. On the palate raspberry and cherry flavors adding a touch of toasty oak with spice. This medium-bodied Pinot has lively acidity and smooth tannins that bring this wine to a lingering finish.
