Beautiful color. Light even for pinot. Approaching grignolino. Hard to describe. Cherry, chalky soil, a hint of pepper. I'm consistently shocked at the complex flavor journey many pinots can take you on. Body does not always mean bigger flavor, and lighter body does not always mean mighty flavors.

Stand dusty on the nose. Good fruit. Nice finish with some juice. Not a bad deal for thirty.
