Deep slightly candied cherry and baking spice, seamless with a welcome twist of tart pomegranate on the finish, it keeps broadening with air, delicious and impressive.

Slow ox'ed for about 4 hours and then left in the glass for another 45 minutes. 100% whole cluster and no new wood bottle of pure joy. After putting the glass to my nose for the fist time, all I could think about was...Strawberry fields forever. Those strawberries were buffeted by red cherry, roses, and freshly disturbed earth. I've written this several times in other notes but it has never been more apt in this case, I could smell this wine forever without taking a sip and be content. The palate is medium-weight with bright wild cherry, strawberry, mushroom, herbs, and a dose of minerality. The finish is long and lingers in waves on your tongue. Simply a gorgeous bottle of Pinot. 94pts.

Smokey cherry, bacon, and black pepper on the nose. Velvety soft violets on the palate closely followed by red plum.
