Oak and pine needles on nose. Medium body, mildly dry, smooth. Plum and red berries on palate. Late acidity. Very nice!

Nice light ruby color. The viscosity matches the color. Light. The fruit is not overly powerful and lays across the palette for several minutes.

Not as over the top as many PNs from the region. Quite restrained despite the alcohol content. Worth the search to find it. 325 cases made.
