This is my second label to try from Hiyu and I’m enjoying this one as much as the Corvus I had not too long ago. Whereas the Corvus was gripping and earth-shattering, this Pinot Noir/Pinot Gris blend is more feminine and effervescent but no less expressive. Lovely tannins and acidity, this wine exhibits notes of funky strawberries, cherries, rhubarb, and clove. A nice, fun wine to drink.

This was very good and showed crunchy fruit and acid.

Smoke! But it works well in the wine. Crunchy cherries and cranberries, tons of forest trees and wild berries, purple flowers, a bit of oregano. Some pepper. Overall nice wine with just a touch of smoke taint. Very good.
