A lovely surprise. At first glance one sees the pale garnet swirling in the glass and memories of Pinot Noir prep the sensations. But at first taste this assertive wine pulls out all the punches. - a Pinot this is not. Aromas of sweet red cherries and flint fill the noise, but it is the vibrant acidity and supple tannins that arrest you while giving way to red berries and hints of leather. Decanter before drinking. I found it more enjoyable the next day.
