Saw this on my favorite restaurant’s private wine list, DelMar in Cape Cod. From one of KW’s 13 different vineyards, Ruby with youthful fruit and gentle spice aromas. Fresh sweet raspberry and cherry fruit with flavors of cacao wrapped in lively juicy acidity. Lingering finish, juicy soft tannins with great mouthfeel, ending with bright earthy mineral tones. Nice, it’s youthful character will mature with a few years in the cellar, but it’s youthfulness is a joy to drink now. I have a few bottles tucked away.

Nice OR Pinot tasted from mag. A bit tannic, but nice fruit and lots of life left.
