Limpid ruby-red. Smoke- and spice-tinged red and dark berries, cola and violet on the deeply perfumed nose. Sappy and broad on entry, offering sweet blackberry and licorice pastille flavors that slowly tighten up and become spicier on the back half. The spiciness carries into and drives a long, focused finish that features silky tannins and a repeating cola flourish. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, Dec 2016)

Great job from the cool climate Pinot producer! Very balanced wine. I think an improvement over last years vintage. Raspberry and roses on the nose, silky with pepper flavors ending with a short finish.

Incredible wine! Perfect balance of fruit, alcohol and acid -- smooth and silky.
